1. Leucoagaricus gongylophorus provides protection for Atta sexdens against plant extracts
RESUMO Extratos vegetais foram utilizados para o controle das formigas cortadeiras. Os objetivos deste estudo foram avaliar a sobrevivência de operárias de formigas cortadeiras após aplicação tópica de extratos de Ageratum conyzoides (mentrasto) e Manihot esculenta (mandioca); e avaliar o efeito por ingestão do extrato de Manihot esculenta extraído c

2. INSECTICIDAL AND FUNGICIDAL ACTIVITY OF A MAGNESIUM COMPOUND CONTAINING ISOVANILLIC ACID AGAINST LEAF-CUTTING ANT AND ITS SYMBIOTIC FUNGUS
Pesticides offer a simple, cost-effective solution to ensure food supplies for a growing world population. However, their environmental performance needs improvement if pesticides are to continue contributing importantly. This study explores the insecticidal potential of a magnesium (II) metal complex containing 1,10-phenanthroline and isovanillic acid (MgPh

3. Odontadenia lutea (Apocynaceae) LEAVES: PHYTOCHEMICAL STUDY AND INSECTICIDAL ACTIVITY AGAINST LEAF-CUTTING ANTS Atta sexdens rubropilosa Forel
The present work describes the chemical constituents of Odontadenia lutea (Vell.) Markgr. leaves and the toxicities of its extract and fractions against Atta sexdens rubropilosa Forel (Hymenoptera: Formicidae). Chromatographic procedures of the ethanolic extract resulted in the identification of the triterpene β-amyrin, the flavonoid rutin, two fatty acids

4. Analysis of the Gene Expression and RNAi-Mediated Knockdown of Chitin Synthase from Leaf-Cutting Ant Atta sexdens
Chitin synthase (CHS) is the enzyme specifically associated with chitin synthesis, an important component of diverse organisms including insects. Two alternative spliced transcripts of the CHS gene (AsCHS-A1 and AsCHS-A2) were identified by quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) during the development of the leaf-cutting ant A

5. Mitochondrial genomes of genus Atta (Formicidae: Myrmicinae) reveal high gene organization and giant intergenic spacers
Abstract The ants of the genus Atta are considered important pests to agriculture in the Americas, although Atta species are also important contributors to ecosystem functions in the various habitats in which they occur. The aim of this study was to assemble four complete mitochondrial genomes of the genus Atta, construct the phylogenomic tree, and analyze t

6. TOXICITY OF ALKALOID FRACTIONS FROM Psychotria spp. (RUBIACEAE) AGAINST Atta sexdens FOREL, 1908 (HYMENOPTERA: FORMICIDAE)
ABSTRACT Leaf-cutting ants are the main pests in forest plantations. The most commonly used chemical control for the ants is toxic bait. However, the active ingredients in these baits have been restricted by forest certification organizations, justifying the search for new active compounds to control these insects. Thus, this work aimed to evaluate the formi

7. [PROVISIONAL] Mitochondrial genomes of genus Atta (Formicidae: Myrmicinae) reveal high gene organization and giant intergenic spacers
Abstract The ants of the genus Atta are considered an important pest to agriculture in Latin América, although, Atta species are important contributors to ecosystem functions in the various habitats in which they occur. Next-generation sequencing product millions or billions of short reads, however, is necessary to applied methods for assembly of the genome

8. TOXICITY OF Esenbeckia pumila Pohl (Rutaceae) ON Artemia salina AND Atta sexdens rubropilosa
RESUMO A avaliação de moléculas com atividade inseticida provenientes de plantas que apresentam atividade tóxica ou repelente cresceu nos últimos anos, tendo como um dos principais alvos de estudo as formigas cortadeiras, consideradas as principais pragas das plantações brasileiras, especialmente do gênero Atta. Sendo assim, o objetivo deste trabalho

9. Inibição do fungo simbionte da formiga-cortadeira Atta sexdens por metabólitos secundários da bactéria Xenorhabdus szentirmaii associada a nematoides entomopatogênicos
RESUMO: As formigas-cortadeiras (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) evoluíram estabelecendo-se no continente americano como herbívoros dominantes. Esses insetos sociais praticam a desfolha de espécies vegetais de interesse econômico, com a finalidade de manter a reserva alimentar da colônia, o fungo simbionte Leucocoprinus gongylophorus, um basidiomiceto. Tal fun

10. Ninhos de Atta sexdens (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) podem afetar a estrutura da assembleia de artrópodes do solo na Mata Atlântica?
RESUMO: As formigas-cortadeiras são consideradas os herbívoros dominantes da Região Neotropical e, portanto, estudos a respeito dos seus múltiplos efeitos sobre outros organismos e processos ecossistêmicos são relevantes. O presente estudo tem como objetivo determinar se ninhos de Atta sexdens (Linnaeus, 1758) podem afetar a estrutura da assembleia de

11. Ausência de correlação entre espécies de microfungos e método de controle químico de Atta tratadas com iscas tóxicas
RESUMO: Atta sexdens rubropilosa (cortadeira de folha) possui associação simbiótica com fungos e interação negativa com outros fungos devido ao parasitismo do fungo cultivado pelas formigas. Quando colônias da formiga cortadeira de folhas são submetidas ao tratamento com iscas tóxicas, diversas espécies de fungos surgem dentro da colônia, podendo c

12. Aflatoxins produced by Aspergillus nomius ASR3, a pathogen isolated from the leaf-cutter ant Atta sexdens rubropilosa
ABSTRACT Aspergillus spp. cause economic impacts due to aflatoxins production. Although the toxicity of aflatoxins is already known, little information about their ecological roles is available. Here we investigated the compounds produced by Aspergillus nomius ASR3 directly from a dead leaf-cutter queen ant Atta sexdens rubropilosa and the fungal axenic cult
