Ecology and evolution of insect–fungus mutualisms
PHW Biedermann, FE Vega - Annual review of entomology, 2020 - annualreviews.org
The evolution of a mutualism requires reciprocal interactions whereby one species provides
a service that the other species cannot perform or performs less efficiently. Services …

The ambrosia symbiosis: from evolutionary ecology to practical management
The ambrosia beetle–fungus farming symbiosis is more heterogeneous than previously
thought. There is not one but many ambrosia symbioses. Beetle-fungus specificity is clade …

The ecosystem services provided by social insects: traits, management tools and knowledge gaps
Social insects, ie ants, bees, wasps and termites, are key components of ecological
communities, and are important ecosystem services (ESs) providers. Here, we review the …

Symbiont-mediated digestion of plant biomass in fungus-farming insects
Feeding on living or dead plant material is widespread in insects. Seminal work on termites
and aphids has provided profound insights into the critical nutritional role that microbes play …

Three genera in the Ceratocystidaceae are the respective symbionts of three independent lineages of ambrosia beetles with large, complex mycangia
The genus Ambrosiella accommodates species of Ceratocystidaceae (Microascales) that
are obligate, mutualistic symbionts of ambrosia beetles, but the genus appears to be …
