In some advanced genera the queen ant may take a pellet of the fungus with her when she leaves to start a new colony.[4] Types[edit] There are five main types of agriculture that fungus growing ants practice:[5] lower, coral-fungus, yeast, generalized higher, and leafcutter agricultural systems.

Secondary symbiotic relationships[edit] Evolution[edit] Given the exclusive New World distribution of the over 200 fungus-growing ant species,[12] this mutualism is thought to have originated in the basin of the Amazon rainforest some 50 – 66 million years ago.

Though the ants are monophyletic, their symbionts are not. References[edit] External links[edit] Hdr ex colonia. Jose Rivas “HART COLOR
