“…The mutualism is obligatory for both the symbiotic fungus and the ants (Mueller et al, 2005), as the fungus is dependent on the ants for substrate provisioning and control of competing and pathogenic microbes (Currie et al, 1999;Hart et al, 2002;Valmir Santos et al, 2004), whereas the ants are dependent on the fungus as their main food component (Weber, 1966;Littledyke and Cherrett, 1976;Quinlan and Cherrett, 1979).…”

“…Other glands, like the mandibular gland, may contribute additional antibiotic defences (North et al, 1997) and there is also some evidence for defensive abilities of the mutualistic fungus itself (Hervey and Nair, 1979;Nair and Hervey, 1978). In addition, as already mentioned above, Streptomycete bacteria that live on the cuticle of the ants produce substances that specifically reduce the growth of the parasitic fungus Escovopsis (Currie et al, 1999b;C.R. Currie, A.N.M.…”

“…and Gliocladium virens) which are not adapted to living in fungus gardens and are unlikely to be adapted to the metapleural gland compounds, are equally insensitive. A more likely explanation is, therefore, that the ants do not need the metapleural gland secretion to be effective, because they maintain a separate defence mechanism against Escovopsis in the form of Actinomycete bacteria that grow on their cuticle and produce specific antibiotic substances that reduce the growth of Escovopsis hyphae (Currie et al, 1999b;.…”

“…complex; (2) to update the taxonomy of C. longiscapus sensu stricto and to describe the new species; (3) to summarize the morphometrics, distribution, and biology of both species; and (4) to facilitate easy differentiation of these species in the laboratory and the field. The goal of facilitating identification is especially important because, as noted above, C. longiscapus and its relatives are of special biological interest and, as recommended by Mueller and Wcislo (1998), have truly become model organisms in diverse behavioral, ecological, and evolutionary studies Currie et al, 1999Currie et al, a, 1999Villesen et al, 1999;Green et al, 2002;Mueller et al, in press;Villesen et al, in press;Adams et al, unpubl. ;Mehdiabadi and Mueller, unpubl.…”
