Differentiation in Selection of Dicots and Grasses by the Leaf-Cutter Ants Atta capiguara, Atta laevigata and Atta sexdens rubropilosa
(California State University, 2009-01-01)
Besides foraging for grasses, the so-called grass-cutter ants, such as Atta capiguara (Hym., Formicidae, Attini), have shown, in the laboratory, a high preference for dicots including Acalypha spp. This preference has also ...

Metagenomics Reveals Diet-Specific Specialization of Bacterial Communities in Fungus Gardens of Grass- and Dicot-Cutter Ants
(Frontiers Media Sa, 2020-09-24)
Leaf-cutter ants in the genusAttaare dominant herbivores in the Neotropics. While most species ofAttacut dicots to incorporate into their fungus gardens, some species specialize on grasses. Here we examine the bacterial ...
Leaf-cutter ant fungus gardens are biphasic mixed microbial bioreactors that convert plant biomass to polyols with biotechnological applications
(Amer Soc Microbiology, 2015-07-01)
Leaf-cutter ants use plant matter to culture the obligate mutualistic basidiomycete Leucoagaricus gongylophorus. This fungus mediates ant nutrition on plant resources. Furthermore, other microbes living in the fungus garden ...
Interference of epicuticular wax from leaves of grasses in selection and preparation of substrate for cultivation of symbiont fungus by Atta capiguara (Hym. Formicidae)
(2005-06-01)
The selection of plants is one of the stages of foraging behavior, executed by leaf-cutting ants for the cultivation of symbiont fungus. Anatomical, biochemical and physiological characteristics of vegetal species are some ...
