Genomic Signals of Adaptation towards Mutualism and Sociality in Two Ambrosia Beetle Complexes

Genomic Signals of Adaptation towards Mutualism and Sociality in Two Ambrosia Beetle Complexes

Mutualistic symbiosis and eusociality have developed through gradual evolutionary processes at different times in specific lineages. Like some species of termites and ants, ambrosia beetles have independently evolved a mutualistic nutritional symbiosis with fungi, which has been associated with the...
