Ecological traits and evolutionary sequence of nest establishment in fungus-growing ants (Hymenoptera, Formicidae, Attini).
Of this complex and well-studied mutualism, little is known about the biological traits of the phylogenetically basal attines, which may offer important clues to the origins and early evolution of this intricate symbiosis.
The evolutionary sequence of gardening in Attini suggests a transformation series from retention and use of detached wings (suspended from the chamber ceiling or placed over the chamber floor) to root-suspension, and finally use of bare soil.

 Ants, Antibiotics and Us
The Attini practice organic agriculture, cutting leaves and chewing them into a pulp that they use as a compost in which to grow fungal crops like mushrooms.
Various species of the weed fungus are found in every Attini garden, and scientists haven't found them anywhere else, so they seem to rely entirely on the ants for their survival.
Unfortunately, the tropical rainforests in which the Attini live, home to the greatest diversity of life on the planet, are being cut down and burned at an alarming rate.

 Fungus-growing ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) on Santa Catarina Island, Brazil: patterns of occurrence   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Abstract: A taxonomic survey on fungus-growing ants (Attini) was made at 14 beaches on Santa Catarina Island (SC), Brazil.
From 12 species of Attini (ten of Acromyrmex Mayr and two of Cyphomyrmex Mayr), the most frequent were Cyphomyrmex morschi Emery and Acromyrmex crassispinus Forel, collected, respectively, on eight and ten of the monitored beaches.
 The tribe Attini, that comprises the fungus-growing ants "and the more specialized leaf-cutters" are restricted to the New World, the majority of species recorded from the Nearctic region (Weber 1982, Fowler 1983, Mayhé-Nunes 1995).
