The leafcutter ants interact with several organisms around, including fungus, Escovopsis mold, and Pseudonocardia bacteria. The effect of each species can be positive, negative, and neutral.

In the case of two interacting species, if both of them get harmed, then it is called competition. When both the species are benefitted, then it is called mutualism. Amensalism is the interaction between species when one gets harmed, and the other one is neither effected nor harmed. Neutralism refers to the interaction of species when both the species are neither harmed nor benefitted...
