Waste management in leaf-cutting ants

Ethology Ecology and Evolution, 2001
Hygienic behaviour is an important aspect of social organisation because living in aggregations facilitates the spread of disease. Leaf-cutting ants face the additional problem of an obligatory dependency on a fungus, which itself is also susceptible to parasites.

Evolutionary aspects of ant-fungus interactions in leaf-cutting ants

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 1997
Leaf-cutting ants are highly successful herbivores because they are able to use a wide variety of plants as food The workers harvest and process plant material to be used as substrate for a fungus on which they feed. New hypotheses concerning the evolution of the ant-fungus relationship have now been proposed. Although the relationship between the ants
