Leaf-cutter ants are one of the most important herbivorous insects in the Neotropics, harvesting vast quantities of fresh leaf material. The ants use leaves to cultivate a fungus that serves as the colony's primary ...
The Infrabuccal Pellet Piles of Fungus-Growing Ants

Little, Ainslie E. F.; Murakami, Takahiro; Mueller, Ulrich Gerhard; Currie, Cameron Robert (2003)
An Insect Herbivore Microbiome with High Plant Biomass-Degrading Capacity

Suen, Garret; Scott, Jarrod J.; Aylward, Frank O.; Adams, Sandra M.; Tringe, Susannah G.; Pinto-Tomas, Adrian A.; Foster, Clifton E.; Pauly, Markus; Weimer, Paul J.; Barry, Kerrie W.; Goodwin, Lynne A.; Bouffard, Pascal; Li, Lewyn; Osterberger, Jolene; Harkins, Timothy T.; Slater, Steven C.; Donohue, Timothy J.; Currie, Cameron Robert (2010)
Low host-pathogen specificity in the leaf-cutting ant-microbe symbiosis

Taerum, Stephen J.; Cafaro, Matias J.; Little, Ainslie E. F.; Schultz, Ted R.; Currie, Cameron Robert (2007)

Host-parasite associations are shaped by coevolutionary dynamics. One example is the complex fungus-growing ant-microbe symbiosis, which includes ancient host-parasite coevolution. Fungus-growing ants and the fungi they ...
Microbial community structure of leaf-cutter ant fungus gardens and refuse dumps

Scott, Jarrod J.; Budsberg, Kevin J.; Suen, Garret; Wixon, Devin L.; Balser, Teri C.; Currie, Cameron Robert (2010)

Leaf-cutter ants use fresh plant material to grow a mutualistic fungus that serves as the ants' primary food source. Within fungus gardens, various plant compounds are metabolized and transformed into nutrients suitable ...
Mutualistic Bacteria and a Possible Trade-Off Between Alternative Defence Mechanisms in Acromyrmex Leaf-Cutting Ants

Poulsen, Michael; Bot, Adriane N. M.; Currie, Cameron Robert; Boomsma, Jacobus J. Koos (2002)

The Origin of the Attine Ant-Fungus Mutualism

Mueller, Ulrich Gerhard; Schultz, Ed R.; Currie, Cameron Robert; Adams, Rachelle M. M.; Malloch, David (2001)
Parasites may help stabilize cooperative relationships

Little, Ainslie E. F.; Currie, Cameron Robert (2009)
Pathogenicity of <I>Escovopsis weberi</I>: The Parasite of the Attine Ant-Microbe Symbiosis Directly Consumes the Ant-Cultivated Fungus

Reynolds, Hannah T.; Currie, Cameron Robert (2004)
Presence of multiparasite infections within individual colonies of leaf-cutter ants

Taerum, Stephen J.; Cafaro, Matias J.; Currie, Cameron Robert (2010)

Host-parasite dynamics can be altered when a host is infected by multiple parasite genotypes. The different strains of parasite are expected to compete for the limited host resources, potentially affecting the survival and ...
