Automated optical sensors with deep learning distinguish between fungus-infected and healthy insects with 85.6% accuracy two days post-infection.

The paper shows a fungus uses volatile chemicals to trick male flies into mating with infected female cadavers, enhancing fungal dispersal.

The paper identifies psychoactive alkaloids in cicada pathogens, suggesting chemical-induced behavioral modification to enhance spore dispersal.
