Differential gene expression in Acromyrmex leaf-cutting ants after challenges with two fungal pathogens

Yek, Sze Huei; Boomsma, Jacobus J.; Schiøtt, Morten (Wiley-Blackwell, 2013)

Social insects in general and leaf-cutting ants in particular have increased selection pressures on their innate immune system due to their social lifestyle and monoclonality of the symbiotic fungal cultivar. As this ...
Interaction specificity between leaf-cutting ants and vertically transmitted Pseudonocardia bacteria

Andersen, Sandra B.; Yek, Sze Huei; Nash, David R.; Boomsma, Jacobus J. (BioMed Central, 2015)

BACKGROUND : The obligate mutualism between fungus-growing ants and microbial symbionts offers excellent opportunities to study the specificity and stability of multi-species interactions. In addition to cultivating ...
