Relationship Between Population Size and Symbiont Fungus Culture Volume in Colonies of Acromyrmex balzani (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
(California State University, 2010-01-01)
In order to quantify the population of Acromyrmex balzani Emery, 1890 nests and to verify whether the population dynamic of the colony is correlated with the symbiont fungus volume, the principal energy source of the colony, ...

The most relictual fungus-farming ant species cultivates the most recently evolved and highly domesticated fungal symbiont species
(Univ Chicago Press, 2015-05-01)
Fungus-farming (attine) ant agriculture is made up of five known agricultural systems characterized by remarkable symbiont fidelity in which five phylogenetic groups of ants faithfully cultivate five phylogenetic groups ...
The effect of plant diversity on fungus garden development and foraging behavior of leaf-cutting ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
(2003-08-18)
The leaf-cutting ants forage a wide variety of plant species, used for symbiotic fungus cultivation. To better understand this tripartite complex interaction, 24 colonies of Acromyrmex subterraneus brunneus were conditioned ...

Vertically transmitted symbionts as mechanisms of transgenerational effects
(Botanical Society of America, 2017-01)
PREMISE OF THE STUDY: A transgenerational effect occurs when a biotic or abiotic environmental factor acts on a parental individual and thereby affects the phenotype of progeny. Due to the importance of transgenerational ...
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 ...
