Castellani, Maria A.; Forti, Luiz C. [UNESP]; Fenille, Roseli C.; Raetano, Carlos G. [UNESP]; Moreira, Aldenise A.; Andrade, Ana Paula P. [UNESP]Made available in DSpace on 2022-04-28T20:55:11Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2009-08-24; The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of grass extracts on growth of the symbiotic fungus of Atta capiguara (Hymenoptera: Formicidae: Attini), in order to obtain support information on control strategies against this pest. The radial growth of the in vitro cultivated symbiotic fungus...

Nagamoto, Nilson S. [UNESP]; Carlos, Amanda A. [UNESP]; Moreira, Sinara M. [UNESP]; Verza, Sandra S. [UNESP]; Hirose, Gustavo L. [UNESP]Made available in DSpace on 2022-04-28T20:55:11Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2009-08-25; Besides foraging for grasses, the so-called grass-cutter ants, such as Atta capiguara (Hym., Formicidae, Attini), have shown, in the laboratory, a high preference for dicots including Acalypha spp. This preference has also been observed in Atta laevigata, a dicot- and grass-cutter species. The present w...

Barbieri, Rafael F. [UNESP]; Forti, Luiz C. [UNESP]; Fujihara, Ricardo T. [UNESP]; Nagamoto, Nilson S. [UNESP]; Camargo, Roberto S. [UNESP]Made available in DSpace on 2022-04-28T20:55:52Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2009-10-01; Social behavior has conferred many advantages upon insects. Allogrooming and self-grooming, frequently observed among leaf-cutting ants, help to prevent colony contamination by microorganisms and aid in the process of recognizing nest-mates, given the evidence that the grouping effect acts to modulate t...
Preliminary studies on the effects of d-limonene to workers of the leaf-cutting...
Verza, Sandra S. [UNESP]; Nagamoto, Nilson S. [UNESP]; Forti, Luiz C. [UNESP]; Noronha Jr., Newton C. [UNESP]Made available in DSpace on 2022-04-28T22:37:20Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2011-06-01; To better understand the potential of controlling of leaf-cutting ants, a serious pest, with conventional synthetic insecticides as well as botanical pesticides, we propose to evaluate the effect of d-limonene on attractiveness and rejection of citric pulp to the leaf-cutting ant Atta sexdens rubropilos...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2011-09-16; Leaf-cutting ants (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) use fresh leaf fragments to cultivate a symbiotic fungus (Basidiomycota, Agaricales) as their food source. There are three hypothetical propositions for the degree of cellulose degradation capacity of this symbiont: (i) that it is high, rendering this polymer ...

Cardoso, Sandra R. S. [UNESP]; Nagamoto, Nilson S. [UNESP]; Forti, Luiz C. [UNESP]; Souza, Efrain S. [UNESP]Made available in DSpace on 2022-04-29T04:22:30Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2012-07-19; The present study aimed to evaluate the carrying and effect of (dry) granulated baits containing conidia of entomopathogenic fungi among colonies of the leaf-cutting ant Atta sexdens rubropilosa in the laboratory. This bait type was chosen to facilitate its eventual commercial use. Two applications were...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2020-12-01; Some lineages of ants, termites, and beetles independently evolved a symbiotic association with lignocellulolytic fungi cultivated for food, in a lifestyle known as fungiculture. Fungus-growing insects’ symbiosis also hosts a bacterial community thought to integrate their physiology. Similarities in tax...

Pereira, Jaqueline S. [UNESP]; Costa, Rafael R. [UNESP]; Nagamoto, Nilson S. [UNESP]; Forti, Luiz C. [UNESP]; Pagnocca, Fernando C. [UNESP]Made available in DSpace on 2018-12-11T17:02:30Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2016-06-01; Fungus gardens of leaf-cutting ants harbor diverse alien fungi in addition to their fungal cultivar. Previous work suggested that alien microorganisms are likely derived from the substrata foraged by ant workers and incorporated into the fungus gardens. To test this hypothesis, we sampled 1014 garden fr...
