Lack of self-medication by fungus infected Lasius platythorax ants in a multitrophic experiment

J. Rissanen, H. Helanterä, T. Will, D. Freitak

This study investigates whether ants self-medicate by altering foraging behavior in response to fungal infection in a multitrophic system, finding no significant changes in foraging or ROS content in nectar.

Pathogen prevalence modulates medication behavior in ant Formica fusca

J. Rissanen, H. Helanterä, D. Freitak

This study investigates how pathogen prevalence in Formica fusca ant colonies influences self-medication behavior, finding that workers respond to low-dose infections and that colony prevalence affects the strength of their medicinal response.

Relatedness modulates reproductive competition among queens in ant societies with multiple queens

H. Helanterä, M. Ozan, L. Sundström

The paper shows that Formica fusca queens adjust their reproductive behavior based on the relatedness and fecundity of competitors and their own physiological state.

Whole-genome analysis of multiple wood ant population pairs supports similar speciation histories, but different degrees of gene flow, across their European range

B. Portinha, A. Avril, C. Bernasconi, H. Helanterä, J. Monaghan, B. Seifert, V. C. Sousa, J. Kulmuni, P. Nouhaud

The study analyzes whole-genome data from multiple wood ant populations to show that divergence histories vary in gene flow intensity across their European range.
