Egg-Laying Butterflies Distinguish Predaceous Ants by Sight
(Univ Chicago PressChicagoEUA, 2009)
Colony dehydration and water collection by specialized caste in the leaf-cutting ant Atta sexdens rubropilosa
(SPRINGER/PLENUM PUBLISHERS, 2008)
Social organization enables leaf-cutting ants to keep appropriate micro-ecological nest conditions for the fungus garden (their main food), eggs, larvae and adults. To maintain stability while facing changing conditions, ...
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 ...
Communication or toxicity: What is the effect of cycloheximide on leaf-cutting ant workers?
(2017-12-01)
Leaf-cutting ants are insects that use plant material to grow fungus from which they feed. These fungus-growing ants perform various behavioral activities to establish an environment conducive to the fungus. Among these ...
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 ...
Foraging ecology of attine ants in a Neotropical savanna: seasonal use of fungal substrate in the cerrado vegetation of Brazil
(Birkhauser Verlag AgBaselSuíça, 2000)
A modified ant colony optimization algorithm modeled on tabu-search methods
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2006-04-01)
An earlier model underlying the foraging strategy of a pachycodyla apicalis ant is modified. The proposed algorithm incorporates key features of the tabu-search method in the development of a relatively simple but robust ...

Brood care and male behavior in queenless Acromyrmex subterraneus brunneus (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) colonies under laboratory conditions
(2006-11-10)
In this study we describe and quantify the brood care performed by workers in queenless colonies of the leaf-cutting ant Acromyrmex subterraneus brunneus. Fifteen behavioral acts were recorded in the three colonies studied. ...
