This project explores the mutualistic relationships between fungus-farming ants and antibiotic-producing bacteria, aiming to understand the stability of these associations over generations. By manipulating these interactions, the research seeks to uncover insights into coadaptation and pathogen defense mechanisms.
Mutualisms underpin much of the complexity of the natural world, in interactions as diverse as coral bleaching, nitrogen fixation in root nodules, and the human gut microbiomes.
Understanding how interspecific mutualisms (cooperation between different species) can be stable over many generations is a key unresolved subject within evolutionary biology.Fungus-farming attine ants are an excellent model system to address this question experimentally as they form complex associations with antibiotic-…
