Four mycangium types and four genera of ambrosia fungi suggest a complex history of fungus farming in the ambrosia beetle tribe Xyloterini

Mycologia, 2020
Ambrosia beetles farm fungal cultivars (ambrosia fungi) and carry propagules of the fungal mutualists in storage organs called mycangia, which occur in various body parts and vary greatly in size and complexity. The evolution of ambrosia fungi is closely tied to the evolution and development of the mycangia that carry them.

Ecology of Ambrosia Fungi and Their Dissemination by Beetles

Transactions of the Kansas Academy of Science (1903-), 1963
In recent years (7, 11, 15, 18) many interesting facets of symbiosis have been investigated and this has led to the study of relationships between ambrosia beetles and their fungi, which together occupy a welldefined ecological niche. Microbial aspects of this association were largely neglected in the past or casual field observations on ambrosia fungi

Aposymbiotic interactions of three ambrosia beetle fungi with avocado trees

Fungal Ecology, 2019
Abstract Interactions between the fungal symbionts of the polyphagous shot hole borer (PSHB) Euwallacea nr. fornicatus and avocado host trees of cultivars 'Hass' and 'Ettinger' were studied, with emphasis on the three symbiotic fungi of the beetle. Fusarium euwallaceae did not spread far from the beetle galleries and remained viable in live xylem for

Fungi associated with ambrosia beetles in Great Britain

Transactions of the British Mycological Society, 1950
Summary The fungi associated with the ambrosia beetles infesting dead and standing trees and logs in Britain have been isolated. Ceratocystis piceae (Munch) Bakshi, Leptographium lundbergii Lagerberg and Melin and Oedocephalum lineatum n.sp. were constantly isolated from the gallery of Trypodendron lineatum infesting conifers in different ...

Evidence for a new lineage of primary ambrosia fungi in Geosmithia Pitt (Ascomycota: Hypocreales)

Fungal Biology, 2010
Geosmithia is a genus of mitosporic filamentous fungi typically associated with phloeophagous bark beetles world-wide. During this study, the fungal associates of ambrosia beetles Cnesinus lecontei, Eupagiocerus dentipes, and Microcorthylus sp. from Costa Rica, were studied using morphology and DNA sequences.

THE SYMBIOTIC FUNGI OF CERTAIN AMBROSIA BEETLES IN BRITISH COLUMBIA

Canadian Journal of Botany, 1965
The symbiotic fungi of three ambrosia beetles found in British Columbia have been cultured and identified. Monilia ferruginea Mathiesen-Käärik, Monilia brunnea Verrall, and Tuberculariella ambrosiae n. sp. are the symbiotic fungi of Trypodendron lineatum Oliv., Monarthrum scutellare LeConte, and Platypus wilsoni Swaine, respectively.

A complex of fungi mutualistically involved in the nutrition of the ambrosia beetle Xyleborus ferrugineus

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 1968
Abstract Paired oral mycangia (organs in which mutualistic fungi are perpetuated) were present in both sexes of the ambrosia beetle Xyleborus ferrugineus . The mycangia of stock culture beetles bore a complex of fungi, yeast, and bacteria. Fusarium solani was the dominant fungal symbiote, but a Cephalosporium sp., and a Graphium sp.

Specific and promiscuous ophiostomatalean fungi associated with Platypodinae ambrosia beetles in the southeastern United States

Fungal Ecology, 2018
Abstract Ambrosia beetles in the subfamily Platypodinae (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) have been farming fungi for over 50 million y, yet they remain understudied and most of their fungal symbionts are unknown. We identified fungal communities associated with all four platypodine species native to the southeastern United States: Euplatypus compositus ...

Symbiontic interrelationships between microbes and ambrosia beetles IV. Ambrosial fungi associated with Xyloterinus politus

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 1969
Abstract Two fungi were found to be primary “ambrosia” of Xyloterinus politus (Say). Isolate UWE-132L, tentatively identified as a new species of Raffaelea von Arx and Hennebert, was cultured from the oral mycangia of male and female X. politus. UWE-132M, not identified taxonomically, was cultured from the prothoracic-pleural mycangia of the female ...
