At two weeks of foraging, the mean fungal garden mass per worker was 77% greater for colonies foraging on leaves with low relative to high endophyte loads.
We used general linear models to estimate the effects of endophyte treatment (nested within sampling time) on fresh colony mass, number of workers, queen mass, dry garden mass, fresh colony mass per worker (× 1000), and dry garden mass per worker (× 1000).
This trend was driven by differences in the fungal garden mass per worker from the earliest samples, when leaf-cutting ants had been foraging on low or high endophyte leaf material for only 2 weeks.
When we plotted the fungal garden mass per worker over the different harvest time periods, we observed that the first time period (2 weeks of ants foraging on Elow and Ehigh leaves) showed the greatest difference between treatments.
We observed a marginally significant trend toward greater values of fungal garden mass per worker in Elow relative to Ehigh colonies, for both fresh and dry mass measurements (Table 1).

This suggests that endophyte loads may limit colony productivity for very young colonies with few, naïve workers, but that within a month of cutting the colony productivity (as measured by fungal mass per unit worker) was similar between low and high endophyte treatments.
We observed a trend toward a greater fungal garden mass per unit worker when the ants were fed a low endophyte diet, but the difference was only marginally significant over the whole experiment.
The simplest is GDP per worker.
The output per worker would therefore fall.
The mass of US citizens cannot work more hours – the US already is No 1 in the world in the average number of hours of paid labour done per year per worker.
Over time, productivity per worker also improved.
