This project investigates how social structures in ant colonies influence disease transmission and immune responses. By manipulating social networks and studying disease dynamics, it aims to understand the balance between personal immunity and collective health strategies in social insects.
Group-living has been predicted to have opposing effects on disease risk and immune strategies.
First, since repeated contacts between individuals facilitate pathogen transmission, sociality may favour high investment in personal immunity.
Alternatively, because social animals can limit disease spread through collective sanitary actions (e.g., mutual grooming) or organisational features (e.g., division of the group’s social network into distinct subsets), sociality may instead favour low investm…
