Espécies florestais e formigas cortadeiras (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) em Viçosa, Minas Gerais

Abstract: O objetivo deste trabalho é ampliar os registros de espécies florestais atacadas por formigas cortadeiras no município de Viçosa, Estado de Minas Gerais. Este trabalho foi realizado no Campus da Universidade Federal de Viçosa, onde se buscou formigueiros ativos que estavam cortando e carregando fragmentos de essências florestais. Foram tomadas as medidas da temperatura e umidade relativa do ar, as distâncias do olheiro ativo e do ninho até a árvore atacada e ainda o comprimento da trilha de forrageamento. Com … Show more

“…The activity of the leaf-cutting ants implies the defoliation and removing the live bark of plants, which can cause tree's death in certain cases, making them of great economic importance for agrosilvipastoral activities (agriculture [especially fruit growing], pasture, or forestry). In this case, that species of leaf-cutting ants are considered agrosilvipastoral pests (Cherrett & Peregrine, 1976;Anjos et al, 2008). Most of the leaf-cutting ants' diet is based on the symbiotic fungus Leucoagaricus gongylophorus (Agaricales: Basidiomycota) which develops on fresh parts of vegetables that these ants cut, load and supply, such as leaves, flowers, fruits, buds or bark of plants near the anthill (Brandão et al, 2011;Della Lucia & Souza, 2011), although, during the processing plant materials, Attini adult workers can consume sap (Quinlan & Cherrett, 1979;Forti & Andrade, 1999).…”
