Nesting biology and fungiculture of the fungus-growing ant, Mycetagroicus cerradensis: New light on the origin of higher-attine agriculture
(Univ Arizona, 2011-02-04)
The genus Mycetagroicus is perhaps the least known of all fungus-growing ant genera, having been first described in 2001 from museum specimens. A recent molecular phylogenetic analysis of the fungus-growing ants demonstrated ...

Shared Escovopsis parasites between leaf-cutting and non-leaf-cutting ants in the higher attine fungus-growing ant symbiosis
(2015)
Fungus-gardening (attine) ants grow fungus for food in protected gardens, which contain beneficial, auxiliary microbes, but also microbes harmful to gardens. Among these potentially pathogenic microorganisms, the most ...
COEVOLUTION BETWEEN ATTINE ANTS and ACTINOMYCETE BACTERIA: A REEVALUATION
(Blackwell Publishing, 2008-11-01)
We reassess the coevolution between actinomycete bacteria and fungus-gardening (attine) ants. Actinomycete bacteria are of special interest because they are metabolic mutualists of diverse organisms (e.g., in nitrogen-fixation ...

Unraveling Trichoderma species in attine ant environment: description of three new taxa
(Universidade Estadual Paulista (Unesp), 2015-06-15)
Fungus-growing attine ants forage diverse substrates to grow mutualistic fungi for food. In addition to the fungal partner, colonies of these insects harbor a rich microbiome composed of bacteria, filamentous fungi and ...
Morphophysiological Differences between the Metapleural Glands of Fungus-Growing and Non-Fungus-Growing Ants (Hymenoptera, Formicidae)
(Public Library Science, 2012-08-22)
The metapleural gland is an organ exclusive to ants. Its main role is to produce secretions that inhibit the proliferation of different types of pathogens. The aim of the present study was to examine the morphophysiological ...
