Lenhart A, Majoe M, Selvi S, Colgan T, Libbrecht R, Foitzik S
Mol Ecol
. 2025 Feb;
34(6):e17679.
PMID: 39902496
In social animals, reproductive activity and ageing are influenced by group composition. In monogynous (single-queen) insect societies, queen presence affects worker fecundity and longevity, but less is known about worker...

Stoldt M, Negroni M, Feldmeyer B, Foitzik S
Mol Ecol
. 2025 Jan;
e17649.
PMID: 39775902
Social insects form complex societies with division of labour between different female castes. In most species, a single queen heads the colony; in others, several queens share the task of...

Desert ants avoid ambush predator pits depending on position, visual landmarks and trapped nestmates
Bar A, Raveh-Pal E, Subach A, Foitzik S, Scharf I
R Soc Open Sci
. 2024 Dec;
11(12):241500.
PMID: 39698156
Central-place foragers face high predation risk when repeatedly using routes near their nest, as predators can learn to ambush them there. We investigated the factors influencing the likelihood of desert...

Jaimes-Nino L, Bar A, Subach A, Stoldt M, Libbrecht R, Scharf I, et al.
Ecol Evol
. 2024 Oct;
14(10):e70365.
PMID: 39371266
Navigation is crucial for central-place foragers to locate food and return to the nest. ants are renowned for their advanced navigation abilities, relying on landmark cues and path integration. This...

Macit M, Collin E, Pfenninger M, Foitzik S, Feldmeyer B
Mol Ecol
. 2024 May;
33(13):e17417.
PMID: 38808556
A co-evolutionary arms race ensues when parasites exhibit exploitative behaviour, which prompts adaptations in their hosts, in turn triggering counter-adaptations by the parasites. To unravel the genomic basis of this...

Peng T, Kennedy A, Wu Y, Foitzik S, Gruter C
J Exp Biol
. 2024 May;
227(12).
PMID: 38725404
Behavioural regulation in insect societies remains a fundamental question in sociobiology. In hymenopteran societies, the queen plays a crucial role in regulating group behaviour by affecting individual behaviour and physiology...

Seistrup A, Choppin M, Govind S, Feldmeyer B, Kever M, Karaulanov E, et al.
Mol Ecol
. 2023 Oct;
32(22):6027-6043.
PMID: 37830492
Social insects are models for studies of phenotypic plasticity. Ant queens and workers vary in fecundity and lifespan, which are enhanced and extended in queens. Yet, the regulatory mechanisms underlying...

Hartke J, Ceron-Noriega A, Stoldt M, Sistermans T, Kever M, Fuchs J, et al.
Mol Ecol
. 2023 Oct;
32(21):5877-5889.
PMID: 37795937
Parasites with complex life cycles often manipulate the phenotype of their intermediate hosts to increase the probability of transmission to their definitive hosts. Infection with Anomotaenia brevis, a cestode that...

Caminer M, Libbrecht R, Majoe M, Ho D, Baumann P, Foitzik S
Commun Biol
. 2023 Oct;
6(1):1004.
PMID: 37783732
Division of labor (DOL) is a characteristic trait of insect societies, where tasks are generally performed by specialized individuals. Inside workers focus on brood or nest care, while others take...

Mol Ecol
. 2023 Aug;
32(18):5170-5185.
PMID: 37540194
Insect social parasites are characterized by exploiting the hosts' social behaviour. Why exactly hosts direct their caring behaviour towards these parasites and their offspring remains largely unstudied. One hypothesis is...
