The presence of protease activity in the rectal fluid of attine ants
(Elsevier, 1970-02)
The rectal fluid of twenty-two species of ants, including seven species of Attini, seven species of non-attine Myrmicinae, and eight species of Formicinae was assayed for proteolytic enzyme activity. Significant activity ...
The alkanes of the ant, Atta colombica
(Elsevier, 1970)
Two homologous series of trimethylalkanes, the 3,7,11-trimethylalkanes (C34H7), C36H74 and C38H78) and the 4,8,12-trimethylalkanes (C35H72, C37H76 and C39H80) are the major constituents of the cuticular alkanes of the ant, ...
Thermoregulation and heterothermy in some of the smaller flying foxes (Megachiroptera) of New Guinea
(Springer-Verlag, 1970-06)
Body temperature, heterothermy, oxygen consumption, heart rate, and evaporative water loss were studied in four species of flying foxes (Megachiroptera), Dobsonia minor, Nyctimene major, Nyctimene albiventer , and Paranyctimene ...
The biochemical basis for the symbiosis between the ant, Atta colombica tonsipes, and its food fungus
(Elsevier, 1970-01)
The fungus cultured by the attine ant, Atta colombica tonsipes, is deficient in the full complement of proteolytic enzymes necessary to grow well on substrates in which the nitrogen is present predominantly as protein. The ...
