The coevolution of fungus-ant agriculture
Fungus-farming ants cultivate multiple lineages of fungi for food, but, because fungal cultivar
relationships are largely unresolved, the history of fungus-ant coevolution remains poorly …

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 …

Evolutionary transitions in enzyme activity of ant fungus gardens
Fungus-growing (attine) ants and their fungal symbionts passed through several
evolutionary transitions during their 50 million year old evolutionary history. The basal attine …
