. 2024 Jul;
34(14):3273-3278.e3.
PMID: 38959879
Open wounds pose major infection and mortality risks in animals. To reduce these risks, many animal species apply antimicrobial compounds on their wounds. Ant societies use antimicrobial secretions from the...

PMID: 38158416
Infected wounds pose a major mortality risk in animals. Injuries are common in the ant Megaponera analis, which raids pugnacious prey. Here we show that M. analis can determine when...

PMID: 37634010
In social groups, infection risk is not distributed evenly across individuals. Individual behaviour is a key source of variation in infection risk, yet its effects are difficult to separate from...

. 2023 Feb;
49(1-2):1-10.
PMID: 36759430
Ants communicate via an arsenal of different pheromones produced in a variety of exocrine glands. For example, ants release alarm pheromones in response to danger to alert their nestmates and...

PMID: 35995848
The gut microbiota influences animal neurodevelopment and behaviour but has not previously been documented to affect group-level properties of social organisms. Here, we use honeybees to probe the effect of...

PMID: 29445019
Open wounds are a major health risk in animals, with species prone to injuries likely developing means to reduce these risks. We therefore analysed the behavioural response towards open wounds...
