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.

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.

Contact rate modulates foraging efficiency in leaf cutting ants [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2015 AbstractLane segregation is rarely observed in animals that move in bidirectional flows. Consequently, these animals generally experience a high rate of head-on collisions during their journeys. Although these collisions have a cost (each collision induces a delay resulting in a decrease of individual speed), they could also have a benefit by promoting

Early‐Life Clinical Factors Shape Cerebellar Structure in Preterm‐Born Children
Annals of the Child Neurology Society, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Preterm birth alters typical brain development due to complex exposures related to neonatal illness, pain management, and brain injury. Despite an increased understanding of neonatal brain injury on developmental outcomes, the association of cerebellar maturation with school‐age motor and cognitive function remains incompletely ...

Resilience Practices and Post‐Traumatic Growth Among Sudanese IDPs
Conflict Resolution Quarterly, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In this paper we examine the resilience of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Sudan who have endured various forms of suffering resulting from being targeted or trapped by militants involved in large‐scale violence. Upon escaping the conflict zones, the civilians exhibit strength, adaptability, and wisdom in the face of various threats to ...

Ecography, EarlyView.Risk assessments of invasive species present one of the most challenging applications of species distribution models (SDMs) due to the fundamental issues of distributional disequilibrium, niche changes, and truncation. Invasive species often occupy only a fraction of their potential environmental and geographic ranges, as their spatiotemporal dynamics ...

, 2015 It is well stablished that danger information can be transmitted by ants through relatively small distances, provoking either a state of alarm when they move away from potentially dangerous stimulus, or charge toward it aggressively.

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.

Ecography, EarlyView.Disturbance‐driven changes in rainforest structure and environmental conditions can alter ecosystem functioning, yet the consequences for invertebrate communities – key contributors to decomposition, herbivory, and trophic interactions – are not fully understood, particularly in relation to structural changes in vegetation.
