Phylosymbiosis and the hologenome in fungus-gardening ants

Katherine Beigel, Elizabeth Boshers, Blake Bringhurst, Katrin Kellner, Jon N. Seal

The paper examines phylosymbiosis in fungus-gardening ants by analyzing host and microbiome phylogenies, finding congruence between ants and their microbiomes but not between fungi and microbiomes.

Forage preference in two geographically co-occurring fungus gardening ants: a dietary DNA approach

Matthew Richards-Perhatch, Elizabeth Boshers, Matthew J. Greenwold, Jon N. Seal

This study uses dietary DNA metabarcoding to analyze plant forage diversity in two co-occurring fungus gardening ant species, finding significant differences in plant beta and alpha diversity between species and paired colonies.
