Fungus-farming ants cultivate multiple lineages of fungi for food, but, because fungal cultivar
relationships are largely unresolved, the history of fungus-ant coevolution remains poorly …

The large amount of dead plant biomass caused by the final extinction events triggered a
fungi proliferation that mostly differentiated into saprophytes degrading organic matter; …

Based on host specificity and distribution data, it has been hypothesized that Ganaspis
brasiliensis (Ihering, 1905), a natural enemy of the horticultural pest spotted-wing …

Studying the historical biogeography and life history transitions from eusocial colony life to
social parasitism contributes to our understanding of the evolutionary mechanisms …

Fungi shape the diversity of life. Characterizing the evolution of fungi is critical to
understanding symbiotic associations across kingdoms. In this study, we investigate the …

Olixon testaceum is a widely distributed species of brachypterous parasitoid wasp
(Vespoidea: Rhopalosomatidae) occurring in Meso-and South America, but little is known of …

Global warming is exposing many organisms to severe thermal conditions and is having
impacts at multiple levels of biological organisation, from individuals to species and beyond …

Fungus-growing attine ants rely on an obligatory nutritional mutualism with fungi. Most attine
ant genera cultivate fungi in the basidiomycete tribe Leucocoprineae (Agaricales …

Mycetosoritis hartmanni is a rarely collected fungus-farming ant of North America. We
describe life history and nest architecture for a M. hartmanni population in central Texas …

Accurately delimiting species boundaries is essential for understanding biodiversity. Here,
we assessed the taxonomy of the leaf‐cutting ants in the Acromyrmex octospinosus (Reich) …
