Antagonistic bacterial interactions help shape host-symbiont dynamics within the fungus-growing ant-microbe mutualism.

PloS one - 26 Sept 2007

Poulsen Michael, Erhardt Daniel P, Molinaro Daniel J, Lin Ting-Li, Currie Cameron R

Abstract excerpt

Conflict within mutually beneficial associations is predicted to destabilize relationships, and theoretical and empirical work exploring this has provided significant insight into the dynamics of cooperative interactions. Within mutualistic associations, the expression and regulation of conflict is likely more complex than in intraspecific cooperative relationship, because of the potential presence of: i)...
