Isolation and maintenance of symbiotic fungi of ants in the tribe Attini (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) [PDF]
Neotropical Entomology, 2005 The isolation and maintenance of symbiotic basidiomycete fungi living in association with ants of the tribe Attini has been hindered by the slow growth rate of these fungi and the presence of other microorganisms on the surface of the material which the ants maintain inside their nests to provide a growth substrate for their symbiont.

An insect herbivore microbiome with high plant biomass-degrading capacity. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2010 Herbivores can gain indirect access to recalcitrant carbon present in plant cell walls through symbiotic associations with lignocellulolytic microbes. A paradigmatic example is the leaf-cutter ant (Tribe: Attini), which uses fresh leaves to cultivate a ...

Foraging by predatory ants: A review
Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 4, Page 1096-1118, August 2025.This review focuses on ecological and behavioral characteristics of foraging in ants showing the wide diversity of cases. Most ants can feed on sugary substances, but some ground‐nesting species are strict predators. Except army ants during the nomadic phase, they are central‐place foragers that can recruit nestmates when necessary. They prey mostly on

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, Volume 344, Issue 5, Page 284-302, July 2025.Different insect species exhibit remarkable diversity in the developmental trajectories from fertilized eggs to hatching larvae. For three myrmicine ant species, we observe a novel combination of a developmental features: small embryonic primordia, a mode of embryogenesis termed short/intermediate germ‐band development, and progressive establishment of

First Records of Two Strumigenys Ant Species (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) from Bulgaria
Sociobiology, 2020 The Strumigenys ant species (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) are poorly studied in Bulgaria due to their small size and cryptic lifestyles. To date, only one species, S.

Phytochemical Analysis, Volume 36, Issue 5, Page 1351-1366, July 2025.ABSTRACT Introduction Antimicrobial resistance is a global public health problem that requires the development of new bioactive compounds. In this context, metabolomic analyses can expedite the research of fungal metabolites as a valuable resource. Objectives To investigate the metabolic profiles and isolate antibacterial compounds from micromycetes ...

The mundus Attinis in the Lucanian Consilinum (Campania) as a Metaphor of Death and Re-Birth [PDF]
Acta Antiqua Academiae Scientiarum Hungaricae, 2018 Summary This chapter aims to reconsider an inscription from Consilinum (3rd century CE), in which we find the problematic mention of a mundus Attinis. This inscription has been almost neglected by scholars: it has been analyzed in a systematic way only in an article in Latin language back in 1978.
