Altruistic disease signalling in ant colonies

E. H. Dawson, N. Kampleitner, J. Robb, F. Strahodinsky, A. V. Grasse, S. Cremer

The paper shows that infected ant pupae emit chemical signals to trigger their own destruction by colony members, with worker pupae doing so due to weaker immunity compared to queen pupae.

Trade-offs between immunity and competitive ability in fighting ant males

S. Metzler, J. Kirchner, A. V. Grasse, S. Cremer

This study shows that severe fungal infection impairs fighting success in ant males, revealing a trade-off between immunity and competitive ability, with worker aggression also influencing outcomes.

Antiviral immune response reveals host-specific virus infections in natural ant populations

L. Viljakainen, M. A. Fuerst, A. V. Grasse, J. Jurvansuu, J. Oh, L. Tolonen, T. Eder, T. Rattei, S. Cremer

The paper identifies host-specific viruses in ant populations using RNA-seq and sRNA-seq, revealing high host-specificity of active infections and spillover of non-infecting contaminants.

Ants express risk-adjusted sanitary care

M. Konrad, C. D. Pull, K. Seif, S. Metzler, A. V. Grasse, S. Cremer

This study shows ants adjust their sanitary care based on infection history, reducing risk of heterologous pathogen super-infections.
