Internal architecture and population size of Acromyrmex subterraneus molestans (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) nests: Comparison between a rural and an urban area
(2011-11-30)
Ant nests vary in their depth and internal complexity. They can be shallow or reach seven meters down into the soil, with many chambers connected by tunnels. In the case of leaf-cutting ants, the nest protects the colony ...
Ventilation of the giant nests of Atta leaf-cutting ants: does underground circulating air enter the fungus chambers?
(Springer Basel Ag, 2012-11-01)
Nest ventilation should be particularly relevant for the huge colonies of leaf-cutting ants, genus Atta. Considerable amounts of O-2 are consumed and CO2 produced by both the fungus gardens and the ants inside nest chambers, ...

Generation of Nutrients and Detoxification: Possible Roles of Yeasts in Leaf-Cutting Ant Nests.
(2012-03-01)
The possible roles played by yeasts in attine ant nests are mostly unknown. Here we present our investigations on the plant polysaccharide degradation profile of 82 yeasts isolated from fungus gardens of Atta and Acromyrmex ...

Nesting biology of the fungus growing ants Mycetarotes Emery (Attini, Formicidae)
(Birkhauser Verlag Ag, 2004-01-01)
Fungus-growing ants of the genus Mycetarotes are among the least studied in the tribe Attini. This report documents nest architecture and worker population numbers for 19 nests of M. parallelus and 5 nests of M. acutus, ...

Nest defense behavior against ant attacks in post-emergent colonies of wasp Mischocyttarus cerberus (Hymenoptera, Vespidae)
(Springer Heidelberg, 2008-09-01)
The primitive eusocial wasp Mischocyttarus cerberus forms colonies of independent foundation, without morphological differentiation among castes. Ants are natural enemies of the social wasps and defending the wasps' nests ...
