1. Interações tritróficas entre Diatraea flavipennella (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), Saccharum officinarum (Poales: Poaceae) e Cotesia flavipes (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) e atividade antifúngica de compostos produzidos por Atta spp. (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) / Tritrophic interactions between Diatraea flavipennella (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), Saccharum officinarum (Poales: Poaceae) and Cotesia flavipes (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) and antifungal activity of compounds produced by Atta spp. (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
Aiming to study the reproductive behaviour of Diatraea flavipennella Box, 1931 (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) in the presence and absence of three different varieties of sugarcane plants, the searching behavior of Cotesia flavipes (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) for larvae of D. flavipenella in non-infested and D. flavipennella infested sugarcane plants, the olfactive r

2. Bula da glândula metapleural de formigas cortadeiras: inferências quanto à defesa antimicrobiana / Bulla of the metapleural glands of leafcutter ants: Inferences as the antimicrobial defences
Leafcutter ants live in a world of complex interactions, the most notable being their cultivation of a mutualistic fungus on vegetable subtrates. These ants, and their mutualistic fungus gardens, are at risk from attack by parasitic microorganisms. To defend themselves and their mutualist, they have antimicrobial defences, such as substances secreted from th

3. Ultramorphology of the metapleural gland in three species of Atta (Hymenoptera, Formicidae)
Differences among the metapleural glands of four female castes of Atta bisphaerica Forel, 1908, A. capiguara Gonçalves, 1944 and A. sexdens rubropilosa Forel, 1908 were examined by scanning electron microscope. There were no differences in gland size between the same castes of these species, although the opening gland in A. sexdens rubropilosa had been twic

4. Reduced biological control and enhanced chemical pest management in the evolution of fungus farming in ants
To combat disease, most fungus-growing ants (Attini) use antibiotics from mutualistic bacteria (Pseudonocardia) that are cultured on the ants' exoskeletons and chemical cocktails from exocrine glands, especially the metapleural glands (MG). Previous work has hypothesized that (i) Pseudonocardia antibiotics are narrow-spectrum and control a fungus (Escovopsis
