How do leaf-cutting ants recognize antagonistic microbes in their fungal crops?
Leaf-cutting ants employ diverse behavioral strategies for promoting the growth of fungal
cultivars in a structure known as fungus garden. As a nutritionally rich resource for the ants …

Phylogenetic patterns of ant–fungus associations indicate that farming strategies, not only a superior fungal cultivar, explain the ecological success of leafcutter ants
To elucidate fungicultural specializations contributing to ecological dominance of leafcutter
ants, we estimate the phylogeny of fungi cultivated by fungus‐growing (attine) ants …
