Ants in the tribe Attini maintain a mutualism with basidiomycetous fungi cultivated for food. Fungi in the genus Escovopsis are known to exploit this association as parasites of the ant fungal cultivar. Previous results from our research group (FAPESP #2016/06443-0) found that Escovopsis does not exhibit host specificity, since it is able to recognize and be attracted by the metabolites p…
Fungus gardens of leaf-cutting ants harbor several microorganisms in addition to the mutualistic fungus cultivated by these insects for food. Fungi in the genus Escovopsis are found in the fungus gardens and are considered specialized parasites of the ant fungal partner. Because of its recent discovery, little is known about the mechanisms responsible for maintaining the interaction betwe…
