Labile associations between fungus-growing ant cultivars and their garden pathogens.

The ISME journal - 1 Sept 2007

Gerardo Nicole M, Caldera Eric J

Abstract excerpt

The distribution of genetic and phenotypic variation in both hosts and parasites over their geographic ranges shapes coevolutionary dynamics. Specifically, concordant host and parasite distributions facilitate localized adaptation and further specialization of parasite genotypes on particular host genotypes. We here compare genetic population structure of the cultivated fungi of the fungus-growing ant...
