Putting the waste out: a proposed mechanism for transmission of the mycoparasite Escovopsis between leafcutter ant colonies

Augustin, Juliana O.; Simões, Talitta G.; Dijksterhuis, Jan; Elliot, Simon L.; Evans, Harry C. (Royal Society Open Science, 2018)

New light on the systematics of fungi associated with attine ant gardens and the description of escovopsis kreiselii sp nov

Meirelles, Lucas A. [UNESP]; Montoya, Quimi V. [UNESP]; Solomon, Scott E.; Rodrigues, Andre [UNESP] (Public Library Science, 2015)

Specialized fungal parasites and opportunistic fungi in gardens of attine ants

Universidade Estadual Paulista (Unesp) (2012-04-18)

Ants in the tribe Attini (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) comprise about 230 described species that share the same characteristic: all coevolved in an ancient mutualism with basidiomycetous fungi cultivated for food. In this paper ...

Shared Escovopsis parasites between leaf-cutting and non-leaf-cutting ants in the higher attine fungus-growing ant symbiosis

Meirelles, Lucas A. [UNESP]; Solomon, Scott E.; Bacci, Maurício [UNESP]; Wright, April M.; Mueller, Ulrich G. [UNESP]; Rodrigues, Andre [UNESP] (2015)

Escovopsis trichodermoides sp nov., isolated from a nest of the lower attine ant Mycocepurus goeldii

Masiulionis, Virginia Elena [UNESP]; Cabello, Marta N.; Seifert, Keith A.; Rodrigues, André [UNESP]; Pagnocca, Fernando Carlos [UNESP] (Springer, 2015)

Yeasts and filamentous fungi carried by the gynes of leaf-cutting ants

Universidade Estadual Paulista (Unesp) (Springer, 2008-11-01)

Insect-associated microbes exhibit a wide range of interactions with their hosts. One example of such interactions is the insect-driven dispersal of microorganisms, which plays an essential role in the ecology of several ...

Assessment of microfungi in fungus gardens free of the leaf-cutting ant Atta sexdens rubropilosa (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

Universidade Estadual Paulista (Unesp); Universidade Federal de Lavras (UFLA) (2005-10-05)

The purpose of this study was to determine the microfungi present in young nests of Atta sexdens rubropilosa when the fungus gardens were deprived of worker ants. The results were compared with another study in which worker ...

Broad Escovopsis-inhibition activity of Pseudonocardia associated with Trachymyrmex ants

Meirelles, Lucas A. [UNESP]; Mendes, Thais D.; Solomon, Scott E.; Bueno, Odair C. [UNESP]; Pagnocca, Fernando C. [UNESP]; Rodrigues, Andre [UNESP] (Wiley-Blackwell, 2014)

Absence of the Parasite Escovopsis in Fungus Garden Pellets Carried by Gynes of Atta sexdens

Moreira, S. M. [UNESP]; Rodrigues, A. [UNESP]; Forti, L. C. [UNESP]; Nagamoto, N. S. [UNESP] (Univ Estadual Feira Santana, 2015)

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

Universidade Estadual Paulista (Unesp); Univ Texas Austin (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 ...
