Article Synopsis
- Some tropical plants have structures called domatia that house ants, which protect the plants and may also provide nutrients.
- Ants tend to fungal patches within these domatia, and some species even practice agriculture by using these fungi as a food source.
- In a study of three ant-plant symbioses, researchers found that each system had a dominant primary fungus associated with it, showing high specificity and consistency across individuals and populations.
