Parasitism of the leaf-cutting ant Atta bisphaerica by phorid flies: biology and seasonal and inter-colonial parasitism rates

Marcos A. L. Braganca et al.

Summary: The study found that three phorid species parasitize worker ants of the leaf-cutting ant A. bisphaerica in Brazil, with Apocephalus attophilus having the highest relative parasitism rate. It was also observed that parasitism rates were highest during the dry season with lowest temperatures, humidity, and rainfall.
