Biomass of leaf-cutting ants (a) and symbiotic fungus (b) modelled using Kang et al. (2011) A without one-way transfer between chambers, and B with one-way transfer D = 0.1 between two chambers, with identical initial biomass conditions for the ants (Ba = 0.05) and symbiotic fungus (Ba = 0.3), and independent population dynamics within each chamber prior to one-way transfer.
