Behavioral ecology of mating and colony founding in the grass-cutting ant, Acromyrmex balzani (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
(1997-12-01)
The grass-cutting ant Acromyrmex balzani conducts nuptial flights at dusk, often during light rain. The daily timing of flights is invariant, but annual occurrence is dependent upon meterological conditions. Males form ...
Harmonic convergence coordinates swarm mating by enhancing mate detection in the malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae
(Springer Nature, 2021)
The mosquito Anopheles gambiae is a major African malaria vector, transmitting parasites responsible for significant mortality and disease burden. Although flight acoustics are essential to mosquito mating and present ...
Absence of the Parasite Escovopsis in Fungus Garden Pellets Carried by Gynes of Atta sexdens
(Univ Estadual Feira Santana, 2015-03-01)
Before the mating flight, the gyne of leaf-cutting ants takes a small pellet of their mutualistic fungus garden to start fungus culture in its new colony by vertically transmitting it. This mutualism is threatened by the ...
