The Cyphomyrmex rimosus Spinola and Mycetarotes parallelus Emery species of ants, considered basal, and Acromyrmex disciger Mayr and Atta laevigata Smith, considered derived, have fat bodies specially distributed on their ...

Leaf-cutting ants modify the properties of the soil adjacent to their nests. Here, we examined whether such an ant-altered environment impacts the belowground fungal communities. Fungal diversity and community structure ...

The comparative histochemical analysis of the fat body of workers belonging to the basal species Cyphomyrmex rimosus and Mycetarotes parallelus and to derived species Acromyrmex disciger and Atta laevigata revealed that ...
