Symbiont-mediated digestion of plant biomass in fungus-farming insects
Feeding on living or dead plant material is widespread in insects. Seminal work on termites
and aphids has provided profound insights into the critical nutritional role that microbes play …

A selective fungal transport organ (mycangium) maintains coarse phylogenetic congruence between fungus-farming ambrosia beetles and their symbionts
Thousands of species of ambrosia beetles excavate tunnels in wood to farm fungi. They
maintain associations with particular lineages of fungi, but the phylogenetic extent and …
