This project investigates the mutualistic relationship among subterranean ants, aphids, and microbes. It aims to understand how these species interact and depend on each other for survival, focusing on the metabolic and behavioral mechanisms that support their coexistence.
Mutualism, cooperative interaction between different species, is widespread in nature.
Despite its ubiquity and recognised importance for ecological communities, how mutualism evolves and persists remain major unresolved questions in evolutionary biology.
The reason for this is that mutualistic interactions can often be exploited by parasites, and high degrees of species interdependence can increase extinction risk.
Applying established network theory to interpret biological details of mutualist…
