Leaf-Cutter Ant Parasitoids: Current Knowledge

Leaf-Cutter Ant Parasitoids: Current Knowledge

This review updates and summarizes the current knowledge about the interaction of leaf-cutter ants and their parasitoids by providing comparable data for Acromyrmex and Atta ants. First, an overview of the relevant aspects of the biology and taxonomy of leaf cutters and of their parasitoids is provi...
