Both behavior-manipulating and non-manipulating entomopathogenic fungi affect rhythmic gene expression in carpenter ant foragers upon infection

B. Das, A. Brachmann, C. de Bekker

This study compares how two fungal infections, one behavior-manipulating and one non-manipulating, affect daily gene expression rhythms in carpenter ant foragers.

Natural history and ecological effects on the establishment and fate of Florida carpenter ant cadavers infected by the parasitic manipulator Ophiocordyceps camponoti-floridani.

I. Will, S. Linehan, D. G. Jenkins, C. de Bekker

The paper tracks Florida carpenter ant cadavers infected by Ophiocordyceps camponoti-floridani to analyze how environmental and ecological factors influence fungal growth and transmission.

28 Minutes Later: Investigating the role of aflatrem-like compounds in Ophiocordyceps parasite manipulation of zombie ants

W. C. Beckerson, C. Krider, U. A. Mohammad, C. de Bekker

This study investigates how aflatrem-like compounds from Ophiocordyceps fungi affect ant behavior, finding they reduce activity, increase staggering, and alter gene expression related to neuromuscular and sensory functions.

Time-course RNASeq of Camponotus floridanus forager and nurse ant brains indicate links between plasticity in the biological clock and behavioral division of labor

B. Das, C. de Bekker

The paper analyzes time-course RNASeq data from Camponotus floridanus forager and nurse ant brains to identify gene expression differences linked to behavioral division of labor and circadian rhythms.
