Relational knowing as method and practice

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper seeks to contribute to (re)building the capacity for embodied, place‐based relational knowing, transforming how we know and thus what we know. What is known, or sought to be known, is relations. How we know these relations is by already being in it: breathing, sensing, moving, listening, responding, affecting and being affected ...

Representation of Thermal Information in the Antennal Lobe of Leaf-Cutting Ants [PDF]

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2010
Insects are equipped with various types of antennal sensilla, which house thermosensitive neurons adapted to receive different parameters of the thermal environment for a variety of temperature-guided behaviors. In the leaf-cutting ant Atta vollenweideri, the physiology and the morphology of the thermosensitive sensillum coeloconicum (Sc) has been ...

Daily Foraging Activity of Acromyrmex (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) Leaf-cutting ants

Sociobiology, 2016
Leaf-cutting ants are well-known insects due to their remarkable activity as herbivores and the considerable economic damage they cause to many crops.

Ethnobotanical and genetic assessments of Central American avocado landraces reveal novel sources of biodiversity and ancient migration patterns

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Avocados are a multibillion‐dollar global commodity, but their growing export market pressures local farmers to abandon local fruit tree diversity in favor of commercial cultivar production. Interviews with rural avocado farmers and households from the Southern Mexican Highlands, Pacific Coastal Honduras, and Western Nicaragua, as well as the genetic ...

Avaliação de sauveiros externos em eucaliptais de Minas Gerais

Ciência Florestal, 2011
There is great difficulty to improve techniques of integrated pest management of leaf cutting ants, mainly when found outside of, but near to, forest plantations.

An extinction‐emergency metacollection: Maximising future recovery options for Rhodomyrtus psidioides (Myrtaceae), threatened by Myrtle Rust

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
A challenge for wild plant conservation is the rising incidence of plant pathogens that are difficult to interdict, contain and manage. Invasive, fast‐moving, broad‐spectrum pathogens impose societal costs through losses of intrinsically valuable wild biodiversity, ecosystem function, current and potential genetic and biological assets, culturally ...

Population Dynamics of Acromyrmex crassispinus (Forel) (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) and Attacks on Pinus taeda Linnaeus (Pinaceae) plantations

Sociobiology, 2015
This work aimed to study the population dynamics of Acromyrmex crassispinus (Forel) in Pinus taeda L. plantations, evaluating the density and spatial distribution of nests over time, inferring about the period of the first nuptial flight of A ...

Strong differentiation between source and ex situ populations of rare plant species revealed by next‐generation sequencing

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Biodiversity is being lost rapidly worldwide due to factors such as climate change and habitat loss. To help safeguard plant populations, conservation strategies include seed banks and conservation cultures. However, it remains unclear how cultivation affects genetic variation compared with wild populations.

Recognition of endophytic Trichoderma species by leaf-cutting ants and their potential in a Trojan-horse management strategy [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2017
Interactions between leaf-cutting ants, their fungal symbiont (Leucoagaricus) and the endophytic fungi within the vegetation they carry into their colonies are still poorly understood.

Mortality in an invasive ant does not scale linearly with fipronil exposure

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Increasing fipronil concentration did not linearly increase yellow crazy ant mortality when introduced via horizontal transfer; high doses may limit food sharing. Queen mortality was low, and surviving workers were averse to feeding. Abstract Background Controlling eusocial invasive and other pestiferous insects is difficult.
