The ability of leaf-cutting ants to detect, recognize and selectively remove invasive fungi and antagonists to the fungus they cultivate is conspicuous, as well as the role of social immunology to perform these tasks. Although behavioral aspects are known, the mechanisms behind the detection, response, and memory against invading fungi are still underexplored. Previous results indicated t…
Due to the high risk of epidemics in their dense aggregations of individuals, social insects have developed individual and group-level defenses against pathogens. Collectively such defensive and altruistic behaviors are termed 'the social immune system' of ant colonies. Leafcutter ants in the genera Atta and Acromyrmex are in constant contact with various fungi that invade their colonies.…
