Larval isolation and brood care in Acromyrmex leaf-cutting ants
(Birkhauser Verlag Ag, 2005-11-01)
The larvae of leaf-cutting ants are maintained within the fungus gardens of their colonies and are fed pieces of fungus by the adult workers. However, little else is known about the nature of the worker-larva interaction ...
The emerging science of linked plant–fungal invasions
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2017-09)
(Table presented.). Summary: Invasions of alien plants are typically studied as invasions of individual species, yet interactions between plants and symbiotic fungi (mutualists and potential pathogens) affect plant survival, ...
Nature of the interactions between hypocrealean fungi and the mutualistic fungus of leaf-cutter ants
(2017-04-01)
Leaf-cutter ants cultivate and feed on the mutualistic fungus, Leucoagaricus gongylophorus, which is threatened by parasitic fungi of the genus Escovopsis. The mechanism of Escovopsis parasitism is poorly understood. Here, ...

Invasive belowground mutualists of woody plants
(Springer, 2014-01)
Most plants require mutualistic associa- tions to survive, which can be an important limitation on their ability to become invasive. There are four strategies that permit plants to become invasive without being limited ...
Influence of caffeine on the survival of leaf-cutting ants Atta sexdens rubropilosa and in vitro growth of their mutualistic fungus
(WILEY-BLACKWELLMALDEN, 2012)
BACKGROUND: Leaf-cutting ants collect plant fresh material for the cultivation of their mutualistic fungus. Atta sexdens rubropilosa Forel (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) cause great economic losses through their foraging activity, ...
Systemic fungicides reduce the abundance of yeast-like symbiotes and the performance of the planthopper Delphacodes kuscheli (Hemiptera: Delphacidae)
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2021-05)
Delphacodes kuscheli is the main vector of Mal de Río Cuarto, the most important viral disease of maize in Argentina. This planthopper harbours obligate fungal mutualists, known as yeast-like symbiotes (YLS), which play a ...
Climate change influences basidiome emergence of leaf-cutting ant cultivars
(2021-11-01)
Maintaining symbiosis homeostasis is essential for mutualistic partners. Leaf-cutting ants evolved a long-term symbiotic mutualism with fungal cultivars for nourishment while using vertical asexual transmission across ...
