Trophallaxis in Dehydrated Leaf Cutting Colonies of Atta sexdens rubropilosa (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
(CALIFORNIA STATE UNIV, 2009)
Trophallaxis, the transfer of liquid among individuals by oral regurgitation or anal deposition, occurs in many insect groups including ants. The first indication that trophallaxis could occur in leaf cutting ants (Atta ...
Trophallaxis in a primitively social sphecid wasp

Trophallaxis and reproductive conflicts in social bees
(Birkhauser Verlag Ag, 2010-05-01)
In the eusocial Hymenoptera, reproductive division of labour is a key aspect of colony organisation. In most of its species, workers are sterile and are unable to reproduce, while the queen monopolises reproduction. When ...

To exchange or not to exchange liquid food: is that the question for foraging leaf-cutting ant workers?
(2022-03-01)
Leaf-cutting ants forage fresh plants in the field to cultivate the symbiotic fungus in their nests. The trophallaxis rates in leaf-cutting ants may be related to liquid foraging behavior and exchanging liquid food with ...
Trophallaxis and reproductive conflicts in social bees

Asymmetric trophallaxis between workers of the stingless bee Melipona quadrifasciata (Apidae, Meliponini)
(2011-12-01)
In several species of social insects, there is a positive relationship between the food exchange that occurs during trophallaxis and the ovarian development of workers, indicating that food transfers are important for the ...
Feeding behavior and social interactions of the Argentine ant Linepithema humile change with sucrose concentration
(Cambridge University Press, 2016-08)
Liquid sugar baits are well accepted by the Argentine ant Linepithema humile andare suitable for the chemical control of this invasive species. We evaluated how sugar concentrations affect the foraging behavior of L. humile ...
Contamination routes and mortality of the leaf-cutting ant Atta sexdens (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) by the insecticides fipronil and sulfluramid through social interactions
(2021-01-01)
BACKGROUND: Leaf-cutting ants (LCAs) of the genera Atta and Acromyrmex (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) are important pests of forest plantations, agriculture and livestock. Toxic baits containing the active ingredients fipronil ...
Estudos comportamentais e mecanismos de contaminação em colônias da formiga cortadeira Atta sexdens (Hymenoptera, Formicidae)
(Universidade Estadual Paulista (Unesp), 2020-12-18)
As formigas cortadeiras cortam e transportam para o ninho uma grande quantidade de plantas que são incorporadas ao fungo simbionte, do qual se alimentam. Para evitar a contaminação da colônia, esse material vegetal passa ...
