真菌生长动物和真菌之间的互惠共生是复杂的物种间关联的经典例子。少数昆虫，特别是公认的真菌养殖蚂蚁，白蚁和甲虫，已经发展出先进的农业，包括用作物繁殖体播种新花园，改善生长条件，保护和收获真菌作物。更多的例子，可以被称为“原真菌养殖”，涉及较少的适应，如海洋蜗牛的农场潮间带真菌沼泽草。最近的研究表明，孤生卷叶象甲Euops chinensis（Attelabidae科）与真菌Penicillium herquei（Trichocomaceae科）具有原生农业共生关系。在这项研究中，我们调查了象鼻虫如何创建摇篮（叶卷）为他们的后代和保护真菌花园。我们描述了新的专门的结构和行为，E。雌性用于卷叶和接菌。真菌P. Herquei在实验室培养和卷叶中产生抗生素（+）-硬皮病，其可以用于抑制微生物“杂草”和害虫，从而保护真菌花园免受潜在的感染。对E.中华象虫与其它先进的昆虫真菌养殖系统不同，因为雌象不连续地照料接种的微生物，并且在营养上不依赖于真菌。栽培真菌的防御作用使得阿泰拉比德象鼻虫在“原真菌养殖”动物中是例外。
The mutualism between fungus-growing animals and fungi is a classic example of a complex interspecies association. A handful of insects, notably the well-recognized fungus-farming ants, termites and beetles, have developed advanced agriculture, which includes seeding new gardens with crop propagules, improving growth conditions and protecting and harvesting the fungal crop. More examples, which could be called ‘proto-fungiculture’, involve fewer adaptations, as exemplified by marine snails that farm intertidal fungi on marsh grass. Recent work has indicated that the solitary leaf-rolling weevilEuops chinensis(family Attelabidae) has a protofarming symbiosis with the mycangial fungusPenicillium herquei(family Trichocomaceae). In this study, we investigated how the weevils create cradles (leaf-rolls) for their offspring and protect the fungal garden. We describe new specialized structures and behaviors thatE. chinensisfemales use for leaf-rolling and fungus inoculation. The fungusP. herqueiproduces the antibiotic (+)-scleroderolide in laboratory culture and in leaf-rolls, which can serve to inhibit microbial ‘weeds’ and pests, thus protecting the fungal garden against potential infection. The fungiculture ofE. chinensisdiffers from other advanced insect fungiculture systems because female weevils do not continuously tend the inoculated microbe and do not depend nutritionally on the fungus. The defensive role of the cultivated fungus makes the attelabid weevils exceptional in ‘proto-fungiculture’ animals.
