Extended Data Fig. 1: Cultivars exhibited consistent FNNs for hyphal growth when isolated from different colonies of each attine species, supporting that the heatmaps based on species means (Fig. 2, Fig. 4b,c) accurately represent each cultivar’s FNN.

Additional details about how these heatmaps were generated and how they were interpreted are provided in Fig. 2. Heatmaps are provided here for attine species where multiple colonies were sampled. Additional colony-level heatmaps for P. cornetzi and A. colombica are provided in Fig. 6a. Collection IDs corresponding to experiment IDs were: Ae_3 [177625], Ae_2 [177624], Ae_1 [177609], Tz_30 [177632], Tz_32 [177634], Sa_23 [177623], Sa_21 [177614], Ad_5 [177629], Ad_6 [177630], Ad_7 [177631], Cc_12 [37861], Cc_13 [37862], and Cc14 [37864] (Supplementary Table 3). As in Fig. 2, least-square regressions showed that each of the response surface regressions producing the heatmap colour-gradients was significant (Supplementary Table 1).
