However, colony-founding queens lack this protection and suffer high rates of mortality. The impact of pathogens may be exacerbated in species where queens found colonies together, as healthy individuals may contract pathogens from infectious co-founders. Therefore, we tested whether ant queens avoid founding colonies with pathogen-exposed conspecifics and how they might limit disease transmission from infectious individuals. Results: Using Lasius Niger queens and a naturally infecting fungal pathogen Metarhizium brunneum, we observed that queens were equally likely to found colonies with another pathogen-exposed or sham-treated queen. However, when one queen died, the surviving individual performed biting, burial and removal of the corpse. These undertaking behaviours were performed prophylactically, i.e. targeted equally towards non-infected and infected corpses, as well as carried out before infected corpses became infectious. Biting and burial reduced the risk of the queens contracting and dying from disease from an infectious corpse of a dead co-foundress. Conclusions: We show that co-founding ant queens express undertaking behaviours that, in mature colonies, are performed exclusively by workers. Such infection avoidance behaviours act before the queens can contract the disease and will therefore improve the overall chance of colony founding success in ant queens.","lang":"eng"}],"type":"journal_article","pubrep_id":"882","oa_version":"Published Version","file":[{"file_name":"IST-2017-882-v1+1_12862_2017_Article_1062.pdf","access_level":"open_access","creator":"system","content_type":"application/pdf","file_size":949857,"file_id":"5271","relation":"main_file","date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:47:55Z","date_created":"2018-12-12T10:17:18Z","checksum":"3e24a2cfd48f49f7b3643d08d30fb480"}],"_id":"732","user_id":"c635000d-4b10-11ee-a964-aac5a93f6ac1","intvolume":" 17","status":"public","title":"Co-founding ant queens prevent disease by performing prophylactic undertaking behaviour","ddc":["576","592"]},{"tmp":{"short":"CC BY-ND (4.0)","image":"/image/cc_by_nd.png","name":"Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivatives 4.0 International (CC BY-ND 4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/4.0/legalcode"},"oa":1,"quality_controlled":"1","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"publication_identifier":{"issn":["2366-2875"]},"month":"04","year":"2017","department":[{"_id":"SyCr"}],"publisher":"Verlag Dr. Friedrich Pfeil","publication_status":"published","author":[{"last_name":"Cremer","first_name":"Sylvia","orcid":"0000-0002-2193-3868","id":"2F64EC8C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Cremer, Sylvia"}],"volume":46,"date_updated":"2023-10-17T12:28:13Z","date_created":"2018-12-11T11:46:35Z","publist_id":"7362","file_date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:46:32Z","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/4.0/","citation":{"ista":"Cremer S. 2017.

Many are also invasive, including species of termites, the red imported fire ant, and the Argentine ant. While invasive social insects have been a problem in Southern Europe for some time, Central Europa was free of invasive ant species until recently because most ants are adapted to warmer climates. Only in the 1990s, did Lasius neglectus, a close relative of the common black garden ant, arrive in Germany. First described in 1990 based on individuals collected in Budapest, the species has since been detected for example in France, Germany, Spain, England, and Kyrgyzstan. The species is spread with soil during construction work or plantings, and L. neglectus therefore is often found in parks and botanical gardens. Another invasive ant now spreading in southern Germany is Formica fuscocinerea, which occurs along rivers, including in the sandy floodplains of the river Isar. As is typical of pioneer species, F. fuscocinerea quickly becomes extremely abundant and therefore causes problems for example on playgrounds in Munich. All invasive ant species are characterized by cooperation across nests, leading to strongly interconnected, very large super-colonies. The resulting dominance results in the extinction of native ant species as well as other arthropod species and thus in the reduction of biodiversity."}]},{"year":"2017","pmid":1,"publication_status":"published","department":[{"_id":"SyCr"}],"publisher":"The Royal Society","author":[{"first_name":"Momir","last_name":"Futo","full_name":"Futo, Momir"},{"last_name":"Sell","first_name":"Marie","full_name":"Sell, Marie"},{"last_name":"Kutzer","first_name":"Megan","orcid":"0000-0002-8696-6978","id":"29D0B332-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Kutzer, Megan"},{"full_name":"Kurtz, Joachim","last_name":"Kurtz","first_name":"Joachim"}],"date_created":"2018-12-11T11:47:10Z","date_updated":"2023-10-18T06:42:25Z","volume":13,"article_number":"0632","publist_id":"7255","external_id":{"pmid":["29237813"]},"quality_controlled":"1","doi":"10.1098/rsbl.2017.0632","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"month":"12","publication_identifier":{"issn":["1744-9561"]},"_id":"558","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","status":"public","title":"Specificity of oral immune priming in the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum","intvolume":" 13","oa_version":"None","type":"journal_article","abstract":[{"text":"Immune specificity is the degree to which a host’s immune system discriminates among various pathogens or antigenic variants. Vertebrate immune memory is highly specific due to antibody responses. On the other hand, some invertebrates show immune priming, i.e. improved survival after secondary exposure to a previously encountered pathogen. Until now, specificity of priming has only been demonstrated via the septic infection route or when live pathogens were used for priming. Therefore, we tested for specificity in the oral priming route in the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum. For priming, we used pathogen-free supernatants derived from three different strains of the entomopathogen, Bacillus thuringiensis, which express different Cry toxin variants known for their toxicity against this beetle. Subsequent exposure to the infective spores showed that oral priming was specific for two naturally occurring strains, while a third engineered strain did not induce any priming effect. Our data demonstrate that oral immune priming with a non-infectious bacterial agent can be specific, but the priming effect is not universal across all bacterial strains.","lang":"eng"}],"issue":"12","publication":"Biology Letters","citation":{"mla":"Futo, Momir, et al. “Specificity of Oral Immune Priming in the Red Flour Beetle Tribolium Castaneum.” Biology Letters, vol. 13, no. 12, 0632, The Royal Society, 2017, doi:10.1098/rsbl.2017.0632.","short":"M.

Queens of perennial social Hymenoptera are both highly fertile and long-lived, and thus, this fundamental trade-off is lacking. Whether social insect males similarly evade the fecundity/longevity trade-off remains largely unstudied. Wingless males of the ant genus Cardiocondyla stay in their natal colonies throughout their relatively long lives and mate with multiple female sexuals. Here, we show that Cardiocondyla obscurior males that were allowed to mate with large numbers of female sexuals had a shortened life span compared to males that mated at a low frequency or virgin males. Although frequent mating negatively affects longevity, males clearly benefit from a “live fast, die young strategy” by inseminating as many female sexuals as possible at a cost to their own survival.","lang":"eng"}],"issue":"24","type":"journal_article","pubrep_id":"736","file":[{"checksum":"789026eb9e1be2a0da08376f29f569cf","date_created":"2018-12-12T10:14:12Z","date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:44:37Z","file_id":"5062","relation":"main_file","creator":"system","content_type":"application/pdf","file_size":328414,"access_level":"open_access","file_name":"IST-2017-736-v1+1_Metzler_et_al-2016-Ecology_and_Evolution.pdf"}],"oa_version":"Published Version","_id":"1184","user_id":"3E5EF7F0-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","status":"public","title":"Mating and longevity in ant males","ddc":["576","592"],"intvolume":" 6","day":"01","has_accepted_license":"1","scopus_import":1,"date_published":"2016-12-01T00:00:00Z","publication":"Ecology and Evolution","citation":{"ama":"Metzler S, Heinze J, Schrempf A.
