Carbon dioxide sensing in an obligate insect-fungus symbiosis: CO(2) preferences of leaf-cutting ants to rear their mutualistic fungus

Defense against biotic or abiotic stresses is one of the benefits of living in symbiosis. Leaf-cutting ants, which live in an obligate mutualism with a fungus, attenuate thermal and desiccation stress of their partner through behavioral responses, by choosing suitable places for fungus-rearing acros...
