Emigrating Together but Not Establishing Together: A Cockroach Rides Ants and Leaves

Zachary Phillips

Summary: The study reveals a novel relationship between host dispersal and symbiont transmission in Texas leaf-cutter ant colonies, where hitchhiking cockroaches use female alates to transmit themselves from parent colonies to daughter colonies for higher-quality host infection. The research highlights the importance of colony development as a selection pressure on symbiont transmission.

Revision of the genus Attaphila (Blattodea: Blaberoidea), myrmecophiles living in the mushroom gardens of leaf-cutting ants

Horst Bohn et al.

Summary: This study revises the genus Attaphila, describing previously known and new species and their unique characteristics such as antenna structure, leg morphology, and genitalia features. Functional aspects and potential biological roles of these traits are also discussed, along with the conflicting molecular and morphological results in determining the phylogenetic position of Attaphila within Blattodea.

The early life of a leaf-cutter ant colony constrains symbiont vertical transmission and favors horizontal transmission

Zachary I. Phillips et al.

Summary: Colonial organisms host a variety of symbionts, with possibilities of vertical and horizontal transmission; miniature cockroaches act as symbionts of leaf-cutter ants and primarily use horizontal transmission, impacting the survivorship of incipient gardens. Opportunities for horizontal transmission between large established colonies may weaken harm to incipient gardens caused by roaches.
