Abstract
Ambrosia fungi are an ecological assemblage of species cultivated by ambrosia beetles in their gallery as required nutrient sources. This mutualism has evolved in multiple beetle and fungus lineages, but whether convergence in ecology led to convergent metabolism in ambrosia fungi is not known. We compared the assimilation of 190 carbon sources in five independent lineages of ambrosia fungi and closely related, non-ambrosial species. These repeated comparisons, and the use of variation partitioning to separate the effects of phylogeny and ecology, enabled us to assess functional convergence versus phylogenetic divergence in the metabolic diversity of ambrosia fungi. Our results revealed no convergence in carbon utilization capacities among ambrosia fungi. Instead, metabolic variation among fungi was largely explained by phylogenetic relationships. In addition, the range of carbon usage in ambrosia fungi was equally as diverse as that in non-ambrosial species. Our results demonstrate that carbon metabolism of each ambrosia fungus is determined by its inherited metabolism, rather by the transition towards symbiosis. In contrast to other fungus-farming systems of termites and attine ants, the fungal symbionts of ambrosia beetles are functionally diverse, which reflects their independent evolutionary origins.
