Herbivorous turtle ants obtain essential nutrients from a conserved nitrogen-recycling gut microbiome
Nitrogen acquisition is a major challenge for herbivorous animals, and the repeated origins of herbivory across the ants have raised expectations that nutritional symbionts have shaped their diversification. Direct evidence for N provisioning by internally housed symbionts is rare in animals; among...
