Ants that tend and harvest gardens of fungus have a secret weapon against the parasites that invade their crops: antibiotic-producing bacteria that the insects harbor on their bodies.
The researchers found that the ants house the bacteria in specialized, highly adapted cavities and nourish them with glandular secretions-an indication that the ants, bacteria, fungus and parasites have likely been evolving together for tens of millions of years.
Throughout history, an extraordinary number of famous and infamous people have acted under false names. Simply choose the real name of each person in the question.
These men certainly need a shave - but these people (in one way or the other) are famous for their facial hair (beard, moustache and the odd sideburn). Try to guess who the bearded fellows are!
