Do Workers from Subspecies Acromyrmex subterraneus Prepare Leaves and Toxic Baits in Similar Ways for Their Fungus Garden?
(Entomological Soc Brasil, 2020-02-01)
Toxic baits are the most efficient method to control leaf-cutter ants in eucalyptus forests for paper and cellulose production. For the proper use of these baits, insecticide compounds must reach workers and contaminate ...
Do Atta sexdens rubropilosa workers prepare leaves and bait pellets in similar ways to their symbiotic fungus?
(Univ Estadual Feira Santana, 2015-12-01)
Leaf-cutting ants rely on the obligate symbiosis with a fungus, Leucoagaricus gongylophorus, on which they feed. This fungus garden is maintained preferentially with green leaves in combination with other tissues of plant ...

Influence of Fungal Contamination on Substrate Carrying by the Leafcutter Ant Atta sexdens rubropilosa (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
(California State University, 2009-01-01)
Toxic baits are the most used method for controlling leafcutter ants and are usually composed of a mixture of dehydrated citric pulp with an active ingredient dissolved in soy oil. In this study, we evaluate if filamentous ...

Dispersal of the delayed action insecticide sulfluramid in colonies of the leaf-cutting ant Atta sexdens rubropilosa (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
(2007-11-15)
Toxic baits are the most used control method for leaf-cutting ants due to their high effectiveness and because they are considered the safest for humans. Taking into account that the importance of leaf-cutting ants as ...

Chemical control of leaf-cutting ants: how do workers disperse toxic bait fragments onto fungus garden?
(Soc Brasileira Entomologia, 2019-10-01)
Leaf cutting ants are controlled with toxic baits. For the method's greater efficiency, the baits must be distributed and processed by workers during fungus cultivation. To test hypotheses whether the mode of action of the ...
Field preferences of the Social Wasp Vespula germanica (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) for Protein-rich Baits
(Springer, 2013-03)
Food preferences displayed by foraging insects are important from a fundamental perspective and in pest control. We studied the preference of an invasive wasp, V. germanica, for protein foods in field conditions. Preferences ...
