Genetic royal cheats in leaf-cutting ant societies. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2008 Social groups are vulnerable to cheating because the reproductive interests of group members are rarely identical. All cooperative systems are therefore predicted to involve a mix of cooperative and cheating genotypes, with the frequency of the latter being constrained by the suppressive abilities of the former.

Reconstructing the functions of endosymbiotic Mollicutes in fungus-growing ants
eLife, 2018 Mollicutes, a widespread class of bacteria associated with animals and plants, were recently identified as abundant abdominal endosymbionts in healthy workers of attine fungus-farming leaf-cutting ants.

Division of labor in work shifts by leaf-cutting ants
Scientific Reports, 2021 Foraging rhythms in eusocial insects are determined by the colony´s overall pattern. However, in leaf-cutting ant workers, individual rhythms are not fully synchronized with the colonies’ rhythm.
