Many studies have investigated how social insects behave when a parasite is introduced into their colonies. These been conducted in the laboratory, and we still limited understanding of dynamics ant-parasite interactions under natural conditions. Here consider specialized ant societies (Ophiocordyceps camponoti-rufipedis infecting Camponotus rufipes) within rainforest. We first established that unable to develop transmission stage host nest. Secondly, surveyed all colonies studied area...
Fungi belonging to the genus Cladosporium are cosmopolitan and occur in various substrates hosts. Nevertheless, this is first time that we have described colonizing leaf litter submerged water. We surveyed spp. associated with litter, from three localities Atlantic Forest biome State of Minas Gerais, Brazil. A multilocus DNA sequence typing approach employing ITS, Actin, Translation elongation factor 1-α region/genes morphological cultural analyses were used identify these species. The...
