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 ...
Influence of physical and chemical factors during foraging and culture of the symbiont fungus in Atta sexdens rubropilosa (Hymenoptera : Formicidae)
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2007-08-01)
The aim of this paper is to investigate the influence of physical and chemical factors on transport and use of substrate for Atta sexdens rubropilosa workers. Three types of rectangular fragments were used to study the ...

Chrysomya megacephala (Fabricius) (Diptera: Calliphoridae) Oviposition Behavior in Previous Oviposition Situation
(2016-10-01)
Blowflies use their sense of smell to locate oviposition substrates and their vision to direct and assist in landing decision. Blowflies’ ovipositions are usually aggregated. Chrysomya megacephala (Fabricius) females, for ...
Structural basis for the relaxed substrate selectivity of Leishmania mexicana broad specificity aminotransferase
(Elsevier Science, 2015-08)
Leishmania species are early branching eukaryotic parasites that cause difficult-to-treat tissue-damaging diseases known as leishmaniases. As a hallmark of their parasitic lifestyle, Leishmaniae express a number of ...
The importance of substrate size and interstitial space in the microhabitat selection by the stream-dwelling catfish Hatcheria macraei (Actinopterygii, Trichomycteridae)
(Springer, 2013-01)
The study tests whether diurnal microhabitat use by Hatcheria macraei depends upon specific environmental parameters and/or the abundance of other fish. We carried out a 1-year field study in a low-order river of northern ...
Mate Selection and reproductive success in the Amazonian angelfish, Pterophyllum scalare (Osteichthyes: Cichlidae)
(2014-01-01)
Mate selection and mating success in the Amazonian angelfish, Pterophyllum scalare were experimentally investigated in the laboratory. This species has a breeding system where male body size and substrate type could be ...
Virola sebifera Aubl. (Myristicaceae) leaf chemical composition and implications on leaf-cutter ant foraging choice
(2018-06-01)
Leaf-cutter ant plant material choice is essential for colony maintenance and growth. Plant material is used as a substrate for cultivating symbiotic fungus, and the ants’ preference for particular leaves, tends to be ...
