This project investigates the interactions between social insects and their parasites, specifically focusing on the Cordyceps fungus that manipulates ant behavior. It aims to explore the evolutionary ecology and molecular biology of these relationships to better understand host-parasite dynamics.
Social insects are among the great achievements of organic evolution and their societies represent a major evolutionary transition in life’s move towards complexity.
Consequently, insect societies have historically held a considerable interest for both biologists and lay people.
One particularly interesting and rapidly developing field for evolutionary biologists is the interaction between social insects and their parasites, because the unique features of social systems may shape parasite explo…
