Fungal infection alters collective nutritional intake of ant colonies

E. Csata, A. Perez-Escudero, E. Laury, H. Leitner, G. Latil, J. Heinze, S. Simpson, S. Cremer, A. Dussutour

This study shows that fungal infection in ants changes their dietary choices to support immune responses, even though the diet is harmful in the long term.

Clearing the way to the external world: do ants make optimal decisions when removing obstacles from their subterranean galleries?

L. E. Devers, C. Cleradin, Z. Bescond-Michel, G. Latil, V. FOURCASSIE

The paper studies whether ants make optimal decisions when removing obstacles from their tunnels, finding that individuals act optimally but colonies show suboptimal behavior due to task sequencing.

Walking kinematics in the polymorphic seed harvester ant Messor barbarus: influence of ant size and load carriage

H. Merienne, G. Latil, P. Moretto, V. Fourcassie

This study examines how ant size and load carriage affect walking stability in Messor barbarus, finding that larger ants are less statically stable but adjust their gait to compensate.
