Metabolism and the Rise of Fungus Cultivation by Ants

Shik, Jonathan Z.; Santos, Juan C.; Seal, Jon N.; Kay, Adam; Mueller, Ulrich G.; Kaspari, Michael E. (2014)
Nutrition mediates the expression of cultivar–farmer conflict in a fungus-growing ant

Shik, Jonathan Z.; Gomez, Ernesto B.; Kooij, Pepijn W.; Santos, Juan C.; Wcislo, William T.; Boomsma, Jacobus J. (2016)

Attine ants evolved farming 55–60 My before humans. Although evolutionarily derived leafcutter ants achieved industrial-scale farming, extant species from basal attine genera continue to farm loosely domesticated fungal ...
Nutritional niches reveal fundamental domestication trade-offs in fungus-farming ants

Shik, Jonathan Z.; Kooij, Pepijn W.; Donoso, David A.; Santos, Juan C.; Gomez, Ernesto B.; Franco, Mariana; Crumiere, Antonin J. J.; Arnan, Xavier; Howe, Jack; Wcislo, William T.; Boomsma, Jacobus J. (2020)

During crop domestication, human farmers traded greater productivity for higher crop vulnerability outside specialized cultivation conditions. We found a similar domestication trade-off across the major co-evolutionary ...
Phenotypic integration emerges from aposematism and scale in poison frogs

Santos, Juan C.; Cannatella, David C. (2011)

Complex phenotypes can be modeled as networks of component traits connected by genetic, developmental, or functional interactions. Aposematism, which has evolved multiple times in poison frogs (Dendrobatidae), links a ...
