Animal personality refers to behavioral consistency and propensity. In social insects, little is known about the interplay between colony personality and colony foraging. This study aimed to assess personality traits among colonies of the leaf‐cutting ants Acromyrmex subterraneus subterraneus and Acromyrmex subterraneus molestans and examine their behavioral consistency when provided with a toxic substrate, nasturtium leaves [Tropaeolum majus L. (Tropaeolaceae)], with potential as a management tool against these pest species. The association between colony behavioral traits and fungus garden growth was also examined, and thus the efficacy of the colony suppression.

资源介导的压力会影响切叶蚁的菌落个性吗?

动物性格是指行为的一致性和倾向性。在社交昆虫中,人们对群体性格与群体觅食之间的相互作用知之甚少。这项研究旨在评估切叶蚂蚁Acromyrmex subterraneus subterraneusAcromyrmex subterraneus molestans菌落之间的人格特征,并在提供有毒底物,金莲花叶片[ Tropaeolum majus L.(Tropaeolaceae)]时检查其行为一致性,并有潜力针对这些害虫物种的管理工具。还研究了菌落行为特征与真菌园生长之间的关联,从而抑制了菌落的功效。
