The colony of attine ants is a system whose evolutionary success depends on symbiotic interactions with fungi. Fungi in the Hypocreaceae family (Ascomycota) are common inhabitants of attine colonies which, in some cases, have evolved with these insects over millions of years. Our research group discovered that attine ant colonies harbour new clades of hypocrealean fungi (namely clades C a…
Fungus-growing attine ants cultivate Basidiomycota fungi for food. The relationship between attineants, such as Apterostigma, and their cultivated fungus is a multipartite symbiosis that involves many other fungi such as those in the Hypocreaceae family (Ascomycota). Our research group found new phylogenetic Hypocreaceae genera living in association with Apterostigma colonies. These linea…
