Leaf endophyte load influences fungal garden development in leaf-cutting ants

BACKGROUND: Previous work has shown that leaf-cutting ants prefer to cut leaf material with relatively low fungal endophyte content. This preference suggests that fungal endophytes exact a cost on the ants or on the development of their colonies. We hypothesized that endophytes may play a role in th...
