Biomineral armor in leaf-cutter ants

Although calcareous anatomical structures have evolved in diverse animal groups, such structures have been unknown in insects. Here, we report the discovery of high-magnesium calcite [CaMg(CO(3))(2)] armor overlaying the exoskeletons of major workers of the leaf-cutter ant Acromyrmex echinatior. Liv...
