Experiments with developing ambrosia beetles and fungi indicate that beetles may feed on more than one species growing in their tunnels. The yeast-like ambrosia propagules in mycangia of beetles arise from conida and ascospores picked up by callow adults during their stay in tunnels.
有关繁殖天牛和真菌的实验表明,天牛可能不仅以其坑道内生长的一种真菌为食。在天牛的蜜囊中存在酵母状的粉孢,它是由在坑道内停留期间幼体天牛采集的分生孢子(conida)和子囊孢子(ascospores)发展而来。
