Secretory Profile of Metapleural Gland Cells of the Leaf-Cutting Ant Acromyrmex coronatus (Formicidae: Attini)
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2011-01-01)
Ants present a pair of metapleural glands located at the posterolateral end of the thorax. Because of its importance in the social organization of ants, the present study was aimed at describing the morphophysiology of ...
Ultramorphology of the metapleural gland in three species of Atta (Hymenoptera, Formicidae)
(Fundação Zoobotânica do Rio Grande do Sul, 2001-11-27)
Differences among the metapleural glands of four female castes of Atta bisphaerica Forel, 1908, A. capiguara Gonçalves, 1944 and A. sexdens rubropilosa Forel, 1908 were examined by scanning electron microscope. There were ...

The metapleural glands of fungus-growing and non-fungus-growing ants: Ultrastructural study
(Brill Academic Publishers, 2014-01-01)
The metapleural glands are considered an autapomorphic structure to ants and probable have an antibiotic or antifungal function. The present study was aimed at investigating the ultrastructural morphology of the metapleural ...

Ultrastructural profile of metapleural gland cells of the ant Atta laevigata (F. Smith, 1858) (Formicidae: Attini)
(Brill Academic Publishers, 2012-01-01)
The metapleural gland is considered a synapomorphy of ants, and is characterized as a paired structure located at the two postlateral ends of the thorax and secretes substances capable of inhibiting and controlling fungi ...

Chemical Composition of Metapleural Gland Secretions of Fungus-Growing and Non-fungus-growing Ants
(Springer, 2012-10-01)
The metapleural gland is exclusive to ants, and unusual among exocrine glands in having no mechanism for closure and retention of secretion. As yet, no clear conclusion has been reached as to the function of metapleural ...
