The role of grooming in regulating biomass growth of ants and symbiotic fungi under entomopathogenic fungal infection: experiments and mathematical modelling This study presents an extended mathematical model, originally developed to explore biomass dynamics in Acromyrmex ants and their symbiotic fungus, which has been adapted to investigate biomass growth...

This study offers new knowledge on the ecological and behavioural strategies that support the resilience of ant-fungus mutualisms and provided insights for developing targeted biological control strategies against leaf-cutting ants.
