Symbiotic bacterial communities in rainforest fungus-farming ants: evidence for species and colony specificity
(Nature Publishing Group, 2020-06-23)
Animals may host diverse bacterial communities that can markedly affect their behavioral physiology, ecology, and vulnerability to disease. Fungus-farming ants represent a classical example of mutualism that depends on ...
Metagenomics Reveals Diet-Specific Specialization of Bacterial Communities in Fungus Gardens of Grass- and Dicot-Cutter Ants
(Frontiers Media Sa, 2020-09-24)
Leaf-cutter ants in the genusAttaare dominant herbivores in the Neotropics. While most species ofAttacut dicots to incorporate into their fungus gardens, some species specialize on grasses. Here we examine the bacterial ...
Foraging, diet and community structure in an epigaeic ant (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) assemblage: the role of recruitment
(1997-12-01)
The significance of recruitment systems for community structure of epigaeic ants in a tropical upland forest in southern Brazil was evaluated by examining patterns of spatial occurrence at fixed points. Normal exploratory ...
Diversity of Epigeal Ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in Urban Areas of Alto Tiete
(California State University, 2012-01-01)
The objective of this study was to conduct an inventory of the ant fauna, evaluating indicators of diversity, litter community composition and similarity among seven areas located around the city of Mogi das Cruzes (SP). ...
Ant community composition and its relationship with phytophysiognomies in a Brazilian Restinga

Ecology of microfungal communities in gardens of fungus-growing ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae): a year-long survey of three species of attine ants in Central Texas
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2011-11-01)
We profiled the microfungal communities in gardens of fungus-growing ants to evaluate possible species-specific ant-microfungal associations and to assess the potential dependencies of microfungal diversity on ant foraging ...
Homogenization and impoverishment of taxonomic and functional diversity of ants in Eucalyptus plantations
(2018-12-01)
Despite its negative impacts on the environment and biodiversity, tree plantations can contribute to biodiversity conservation in fragmented landscapes, as they harbor many native species. In this study, we investigated ...
