Carbon dioxide sensing in an obligate insect-fungus symbiosis: CO2 preferences of leaf-cutting ants to rear their mutualistic fungus
Defense against biotic or abiotic stresses is one of the benefits of living in symbiosis. Leaf-cutting ants, which live in an obligate mutualism with a fungus, attenuate thermal and desiccation stress of their partner through behavioral responses, by choosing suitable places for fungus-rearing across the soil profile. The underground environment also presents hypoxic (low oxygen) and hypercapni...

cairostris (Cuvier’s beaked whale) and Mesoplodon densirostris (Blainville’s beaked whale). The authors find that both of these species undertake long, deep dives to capture deepwater prey. Diving is highly regular with most deep foraging dives being followed by an extended period of shallow dives and slow travel and resting near the surface. All foraging dives of both species are considerably ...

متن کاملNew Fungus-Insect Symbiosis: Culturing, Molecular, and Histological Methods Determine Saprophytic Polyporales Mutualists of Ambrosiodmus Ambrosia Beetles
Ambrosia symbiosis is an obligate, farming-like mutualism between wood-boring beetles and fungi. It evolved at least 11 times and includes many notorious invasive pests. All ambrosia beetles studied to date cultivate ascomycotan fungi: early colonizers of recently killed trees with poor wood digestion. Beetles in the widespread genus Ambrosiodmus, however, colonize decayed wood. We characterize...
متن کاملSnapshot of insect-fungus arms race.
The general populace associates the arms race with nations preparing for or attempting to avoid conflicts by developing and divulging their military superiority. Unfortunately, it is not just nations that engage in excessive preparation: so do cities. For example, the City of Davis, California, population 66,000 residents and 40,000 students (University of California, Davis) acquired a Mine Res...
