Chemical Gradients of Plant Substrates in an Atta texana Fungus Garden

Many ant species grow fungus gardens that predigest food as an essential step of the ants’ nutrient uptake. These symbiotic fungus gardens have long been studied and feature a gradient of increasing substrate degradation from top to bottom. To further facilitate the study of fungus gardens and enabl...
