Bacterial symbiont sharing in Megalomyrmex social parasites and their fungus‐growing ant hosts
Bacterial symbionts are important fitness determinants of insects. Some hosts have independently acquired taxonomically related microbes to meet similar challenges, but whether distantly related hosts that live in tight symbiosis can maintain similar microbial communities has not been investigated....
