The Laboratory Environment Affects the Volatiles of Fungus Gardens in the Colonies of Fungus-farming Ants

The ability to recognize nestmates is critical to the ecological success of social insects. Fungus-farming “attine” ants (Formicidae: Myrmicinae: Attini: Attina) can recognize their nestmates and symbiotic fungi via chemoreception. Although it has been shown that mutualistic fungi release volatile...
