Digging effort in leaf-cutting ant queens (Atta sexdens rubropilosa) and its effects on survival and colony growth during the claustral phase
(Birkhauser Verlag Ag, 2011-02-01)
Nest foundation in the leaf-cutting ant Atta sexdens is claustral, and the single queen completely relies on its body reserves throughout, approximately, 9 weeks until the first workers emerge and initiate foraging. Nest ...

Flight and digging effort in leaf-cutting ant males and gynes
(2015-01-01)
The nuptial flight and nest digging are high intensity activities which consume body reserves. The flight and digging effort was quantified by measuring the carbohydrate and total lipids content in males and females before ...
Effect of the presence of brood and fungus on the nest architecture and digging activity of Acromyrmex subterraneus Forel (Hymenoptera, Formicidae)
(Soc Brasileira Entomologia, 2017-01-01)
This study investigated the stimuli that trigger digging behavior inAcromyrmex subterraneus during nest building. The hypothesis was that the presence of the fungus garden and/or brood triggers the excavation of tunnels ...
Nest Digging by Leaf-Cutting Ants: Effect of Group Size and Functional Structures.
(2011-01-01)
Leaf-cutting ant workers dig underground chambers, for housing their symbiotic fungus, interconnected by a vast quantity of tunnels whose function is to permit the entrance of food (leaves), gaseous exchanges, andmovement ...

Energetic cost of digging behavior in workers of the leaf-cutting ant Atta sexdens (Fabricius)
(Sociedade Brasileira de Entomologia, 2013-12-01)
Energetic cost of digging behavior in workers of the leaf-cutting ant Atta sexdens (Fabricius). During nest excavation, leaf-cutting ant workers undergo reduction in their body reserve, particularly carbohydrates. In order ...
Esforço de escavação e teor de lipídios em rainhas da formiga cortadeira Atta sexdens rubropilosa
(2013-08-01)
Nest digging spends a lot of energy existing a question about how much energy is required to dig the tunnel and initial chamber. It was hypothesized that the lipid content is used during nest digging. This hypothesis was ...
