Diversity of Wolbachia Associated with the Giant Turtle Ant, Cephalotes atratus.
Kelly M, Price SL, de Oliveira Ramalho M, Moreau CS. Kelly M, et al. Curr Microbiol. 2019 Nov;76(11):1330-1337. doi: 10.1007/s00284-019-01722-8. Epub 2019 Jun 28. Curr Microbiol. 2019. PMID: 31254009
Here, we surveyed the diversity of Wolbachia, focusing on one species of turtle ant with a particularly wide geographic range, Cephalotes atratus. Colonies were collected from the entire range of C. atratus, and we detected the presence of Wolbachia by sequencing mu …

The role of visual cues in directed aerial descent of Cephalotes atratus workers (Hymenoptera: Formicidae).
Yanoviak SP, Dudley R. Yanoviak SP, et al. J Exp Biol. 2006 May;209(Pt 9):1777-83. doi: 10.1242/jeb.02170. J Exp Biol. 2006. PMID: 16621958
We compared reflectance properties of tree trunks with surrounding vegetation, and examined how differences in reflectance profiles of surrogate tree trunks (red, yellow, green, blue, black, gray, dark gray and white sheets) affected the directed aerial descent of worker Cepha …

The Diversity and Distribution of Wolbachia, Rhizobiales, and Ophiocordyceps Within the Widespread Neotropical Turtle Ant, Cephalotes atratus (Hymenoptera: Formicidae).
Reeves DD, Price SL, Ramalho MO, Moreau CS. Reeves DD, et al. Neotrop Entomol. 2020 Feb;49(1):52-60. doi: 10.1007/s13744-019-00735-z. Epub 2020 Jan 7. Neotrop Entomol. 2020. PMID: 31912447
However, these studies have been limited, and thorough within-species analyses of the variation and structure of these microbial communities have yet to be conducted. The giant turtle ant, Cephalotes atratus (Linnaeus 1758), is a geographically widespread, genetical …

Exoskeletal thinning in Cephalotes atratus ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) parasitized by Myrmeconema neotropicum (Nematoda: Tetradonematidae).
Verble RM, Meyer AD, Kleve MG, Yanoviak SP. Verble RM, et al. J Parasitol. 2012 Feb;98(1):226-8. doi: 10.1645/GE-2847.1. Epub 2011 Aug 11. J Parasitol. 2012. PMID: 21834724
Here, we examine the cuticle structure of workers of the Neotropical canopy ant Cephalotes atratus infected with the nematode Myrmeconema neotropicum. ...

A new zombie ant behavior unraveled: Aggregating on tree trunks.
Imirzian N, Araújo JPM, Hughes DP. Imirzian N, et al. J Invertebr Pathol. 2020 Nov;177:107499. doi: 10.1016/j.jip.2020.107499. Epub 2020 Oct 28. J Invertebr Pathol. 2020. PMID: 33129891
To investigate the role of behavioral manipulation in creating transmission hotspots, we studied the distribution of zombie turtle ants in the Amazon rainforest. The turtle ant Cephalotes atratus nests and mostly forages in the canopy, but is found at the base of tr …

Aerial manoeuvrability in wingless gliding ants (Cephalotes atratus).
Yanoviak SP, Munk Y, Kaspari M, Dudley R. Yanoviak SP, et al. Proc Biol Sci. 2010 Jul 22;277(1691):2199-204. doi: 10.1098/rspb.2010.0170. Epub 2010 Mar 17. Proc Biol Sci. 2010. PMID: 20236974 Free PMC article.
We conducted ablation experiments to assess the relative contributions of the hindlegs, midlegs and gaster to gliding success in workers of the Neotropical arboreal ant Cephalotes atratus (Hymenoptera: Formicidae). Removal of hindlegs significantly reduced the succe …

The geographic distribution of parasite-induced fruit mimicry in Cephalotes atratus (Formicidae: Myrmicinae).
Dáttilo W, Falcão JC, Yanoviak SP, Poinar G Jr, Izzo TJ. Dáttilo W, et al. J Parasitol. 2013 Feb;99(1):155-7. doi: 10.1645/GE-3181.1. Epub 2012 Jul 5. J Parasitol. 2013. PMID: 22765390
Here, we combine field observations with published collection data to document the current known distribution of the nematode, Myrmeconema neotropicum, which infects the Neotropical canopy ant Cephalotes atratus. We report 6 new records from different Brazilian ecos …

Preliminary assessment of metabolic costs of the nematode Myrmeconema neotropicum on its host, the tropical ant Cephalotes atratus.
Shik JZ, Kaspari M, Yanoviak SP. Shik JZ, et al. J Parasitol. 2011 Oct;97(5):958-9. doi: 10.1645/GE-2735.1. Epub 2011 Mar 23. J Parasitol. 2011. PMID: 21506804
The parasitic nematode Myrmeconema neotropicum infects workers of the neotropical arboreal ant Cephalotes atratus. Infected ants exhibit altered behavior, e.g., reduced aggression and slower tempo, as well as physical traits, e.g., gaster changes from shiny black to …
