Next, the persistence of gene expression patterns could be tested by a long-term common garden experiment, thus explaining its proximate cause by separating the phenotypic plasticity and genetic components.
Using long-term common gardens planted with a variety of eastern North American tree species, our study aims to determine whether tree species identity has ecological consequences for associated belowground communities when correcting for evolutionary history, and to identify the role of plant functional traits as a mechanism for driving soil community differences.
However, such discrimination also seems unlikely to have been selected for, because callow ants are inoculated in the fungus garden in which they eclose and with actinomycetes that are long-term associated with the fungus garden and/or their sister workers [ 33].
