Frontier mutualism: coevolutionary patterns at the northern range limit of the leaf-cutter ant-fungus symbiosis.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 22 Oct 2011

Mueller Ulrich G, Mikheyev Alexander S, Solomon Scott E, Cooper Michael

Abstract excerpt

Tropical leaf-cutter ants cultivate the fungus Attamyces bromatificus in a many-to-one, diffuse coevolutionary relationship where ant and fungal partners re-associate frequently over time. To evaluate whether ant-Attamyces coevolution is more specific (tighter) in peripheral populations, we chara...
