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 ...
