This project investigates the interaction between ectoparasitic fungi and their ant hosts to understand evolutionary processes. It aims to study the distribution, transmission, and effects of these fungi on ant behavior and physiology, contributing to knowledge about biodiversity and conservation.
Biodiversity on Earth ultimately depends on the origin of species by natural selection.
Important driving forces of diversification are the evolutionary processes between parasites and their hosts.The obligate ectoparasitic Laboulbeniales fungi are associated with arthropods.
Only some ant species are known hosts, and of only five species of these fungi.
Of these five species, only Rickia wasmannii and Laboulbenia camponoti were known from Europe, until recent records of the exotic L. formicarum…
