Potential of alternative control of leaf‐cutting ants using essential oils: A systematic review
Abstract Leaf‐cutting ants (LCAs) are abundant and cause considerable damage to agricultural and forest crops in the Neotropical region and are commonly controlled using sulfluramid‐based ant baits. However, this active ingredient is a precursor of perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS), a persistent, human‐made pollutant that poses serious environmental

A La Carte Seed Harvesting: Messor barbarus Ants Select Durum Wheat Genotypes
Our study shows that the harvester ant Messor barbarus exhibits genotype‐specific preferences for durum wheat, linked to a major QTL on chromosome 2A. Ant predation is also influenced by spike size, suggesting ant‐mediated selective pressure on crop traits.
