Within the fortress: A specialized parasite of ants is not evicted

Emilia S. Gracia, Charissa de Bekker, Jim Russell, Kezia Manlove, Ephraim Hanks, David P. Hughes

The paper examines how an ant parasite affects social interactions by analyzing trophallaxis and spatial segregation, finding no change in food sharing but significant spatial segregation on day 3.
