We here test whether the presence of a pupal cocoon, which occurs in some ant species but not in others, affects the sanitary brood care and fungal infection patterns after exposure to the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium brunneum. We use a) a comparative approach analysing four species with either naked or cocooned pupae and b) a within-species analysis of a single ant species, in which both pupal types co-exist in the same colony. Results: We found that the presence of a cocoon did not compromise fungal pathogen detection by the ants and that species with cocooned pupae increased brood grooming after pathogen exposure. All tested ant species further removed brood from their nests, which was predominantly expressed towards larvae and naked pupae treated with the live fungal pathogen. In contrast, cocooned pupae exposed to live fungus were not removed at higher rates than cocooned pupae exposed to dead fungus or a sham control. Consistent with this, exposure to the live fungus caused high numbers of infections and fungal outgrowth in larvae and naked pupae, but not in cocooned pupae. Moreover, the ants consistently removed the brood prior to fungal outgrowth, ensuring a clean brood chamber. Conclusion: Our study suggests that the pupal cocoon has a protective effect against fungal infection, causing an adaptive change in sanitary behaviours by the ants. It further demonstrates that brood removal-originally described for honeybees as &quot;hygienic behaviour&quot;-is a widespread sanitary behaviour in ants, which likely has important implications on disease dynamics in social insect colonies.","lang":"eng"}],"day":"14","doi":"10.1186/1471-2148-13-225","citation":{"ista":"Tragust S, Ugelvig LV, Chapuisat M, Heinze J, Cremer S. 2013.

Here, we explore how their social lifestyle and their interaction with parasites may contribute to this invasive success. Similar to solitary species, parasite release followed by the evolution of increased competitive ability can promote establishment of introduced social insect hosts in their introduced range. Genetic bottlenecks during introduction of low numbers of founder individuals decrease the genetic diversity at three levels: the population, the colony and the individual, with the colony level being specific to social insects. Reduced genetic diversity can affect both the individual immune system and the collective colony-level disease defences (social immunity). Still, the dual immune system is likely to make social insects more robust to parasite attack. Changes in social structure from small, family-based, territorially aggressive societies in native populations towards huge networks of cooperating nests (unicoloniality) occur in some invasive social insects, for example, most invasive ants and some termites. Unicoloniality is likely to affect disease dynamics in multiple ways. The free exchange of individuals within the population leads to an increased genetic heterogeneity among individuals of a single nest, thereby decreasing disease transmission. However, the multitude of reproductively active queens per colony buffers the effect of individual diseased queens and their offspring, which may result in a higher level of vertical disease transmission in unicolonial societies. Lastly, unicoloniality provides a competitive advantage over native species, allowing them to quickly become the dominant species in the habitat, which in turn selects for parasite adaptation to this common host genotype and thus eventually a high parasite pressure. Overall, invasions by insect societies are characterized by general features applying to all introduced species, as well as idiosyncrasies that emerge from their social lifestyle. It is important to study these effects in concert to be able to develop efficient management and biocontrol strategies. © 2012 British Ecological Society."}],"publist_id":"3797","date_updated":"2021-01-12T07:39:54Z","citation":{"ista":"Ugelvig LV, Cremer S. 2012.

In insects, freshly emerged and still sexually inactive males are morphologically indistinct from older, sexually active males. These young inactive males may thus be easy targets for older males if they cannot conceal themselves from their attacks. The ant Cardiocondyla obscurior is characterised by lethal fighting between wingless (&quot; ergatoid&quot; ) males. Here, we analyse for how long young males are defenceless after eclosion, and how early adult males can detect the presence of rival males.Results: We found that old ergatoid males consistently won fights against ergatoid males younger than two days. Old males did not differentiate between different types of unpigmented pupae several days before emergence, but had more frequent contact to ready-to-eclose pupae of female sexuals and winged males than of workers and ergatoid males. In rare cases, old ergatoid males displayed alleviated biting of pigmented ergatoid male pupae shortly before adult eclosion, as well as copulation attempts to dark pupae of female sexuals and winged males. Ergatoid male behaviour may be promoted by a closer similarity of the chemical profile of ready-to-eclose pupae to the profile of adults than that of young pupae several days prior to emergence.Conclusion: Young ergatoid males of C. obscurior would benefit greatly by hiding their identity from older, resident males, as they are highly vulnerable during the first two days of their adult lives. In contrast to the winged males of the same species, which are able to prevent ergatoid male attacks by chemical female mimicry, young ergatoids do not seem to be able to produce a protective chemical profile. Conflicts in male-male competition between ergatoid males of different age thus seem to be resolved in favour of the older males.

The dominant reproductive individual, often the queen, uses chemical communication and/or behaviour to maintain her social status. Queens of many social insects communicate their fertility status via cuticle-bound substances. As these substances usually possess a low volatility, their range in queen–worker communication is potentially limited. Here, we investigate the range and impact of behavioural and chemical queen signals on workers of the ant Temnothorax longispinosus. We compared the behaviour and ovary development of workers subjected to three different treatments: workers with direct chemical and physical contact to the queen, those solely under the influence of volatile queen substances and those entirely separated from the queen. In addition to short-ranged queen signals preventing ovary development in workers, we discovered a novel secondary pathway influencing worker behaviour. Workers with no physical contact to the queen, but exposed to volatile substances, started to develop their ovaries, but did not change their behaviour compared to workers in direct contact to the queen. In contrast, workers in queen-separated groups showed both increased ovary development and aggressive dominance interactions. We conclude that T. longispinosus queens influence worker ovary development and behaviour via two independent signals, both ensuring social harmony within the colony."}],"day":"01","doi":"10.1007/s00114-012-0943-z","type":"journal_article","date_published":"2012-08-01T00:00:00Z","citation":{"mla":"Konrad, Matthias, et al. “Two Pathways Ensuring Social Harmony.” <i>Naturwissenschaften</i>, vol. 99, no. 8, Springer, 2012, pp. 627–36, doi:<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1007/s00114-012-0943-z\">10.1007/s00114-012-0943-z</a>.","short":"M.

Such species are often foci of conservation efforts because they suffer disproportionally from degradation and fragmentation of their habitat. However, detailed knowledge of effective gene flow through dispersal is often missing, so that conservation strategies have to be based on mark-recapture observations that are suspected to be poor predictors of long-distance dispersal. These constraints have been especially severe in the study of butterfly populations, where microsatellite markers have been difficult to develop. We used eight microsatellite markers to analyse genetic population structure of the Large Blue butterfly Maculinea arion in Sweden. During recent decades, this species has become an icon of insect conservation after massive decline throughout Europe and extinction in Britain followed by reintroduction of a seed population from the Swedish island of Öland. We find that populations are highly structured genetically, but that gene flow occurs over distances 15 times longer than the maximum distance recorded from mark-recapture studies, which can only be explained by maximum dispersal distances at least twice as large as previously accepted. However, we also find evidence that gaps between sites with suitable habitat exceeding ∼ 20 km induce genetic erosion that can be detected from bottleneck analyses.

Loss of cellular potassium is known to potently suppress protein synthesis, leading us to test whether the inhibition of protein synthesis itself serves as an activating signal for the NLRP3 inflammasome. Murine bone marrow-derived macrophages, either primed by LPS or unprimed, were exposed to a panel of inhibitors of ribosomal function: ricin, cycloheximide, puromycin, pactamycin, and anisomycin. Macrophages were also exposed to nigericin, ATP, monosodium urate (MSU), and poly I:C. Synthesis of pro-IL-ß and release of IL-1ß from cells in response to these agents was detected by immunoblotting and ELISA. Release of intracellular potassium was measured by mass spectrometry. Inhibition of translation by each of the tested translation inhibitors led to processing of IL-1ß, which was released from cells. Processing and release of IL-1ß was reduced or absent from cells deficient in NLRP3, ASC, or caspase-1, demonstrating the role of the NLRP3 inflammasome. Despite the inability of these inhibitors to trigger efflux of intracellular potassium, the addition of high extracellular potassium suppressed activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome. MSU and double-stranded RNA, which are known to activate the NLRP3 inflammasome, also substantially inhibited protein translation, supporting a close association between inhibition of translation and inflammasome activation. These data demonstrate that translational inhibition itself constitutes a heretofore-unrecognized mechanism underlying IL-1ß dependent inflammatory signaling and that other physical, chemical, or pathogen-associated agents that impair translation may lead to IL-1ß-dependent inflammation through activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome. For agents that inhibit translation through decreased cellular potassium, the application of high extracellular potassium restores protein translation and suppresses activation of the NLRP inflammasome. For agents that inhibit translation through mechanisms that do not involve loss of potassium, high extracellular potassium suppresses IL-1ß processing through a mechanism that remains undefined."}],"doi":"10.1371/journal.pone.0036044","day":"14","ddc":["610"],"acknowledgement":"Supported by National Institutes of Health grants GM071338 (ML) and AI059355 (BM).\r\nWe acknowledge the expertise of Dr. Martina Ralle in Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at OHSU for measurements of potassium using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry.","volume":7,"publication":"PLoS One","has_accepted_license":"1","month":"05","article_number":"e36044","oa_version":"Published Version","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"date_published":"2012-05-14T00:00:00Z","type":"journal_article","tmp":{"legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","short":"CC BY (4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by.png","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)"},"oa":1,"publist_id":"3526","user_id":"3E5EF7F0-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","status":"public","file":[{"checksum":"30cef37e27eaa467f6571b3640282010","file_size":2984012,"date_created":"2018-12-12T10:14:30Z","file_name":"IST-2012-97-v1+1_journal.pone.0036044.pdf","content_type":"application/pdf","date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:46:01Z","access_level":"open_access","relation":"main_file","creator":"system","file_id":"5082"}]},{"issue":"4","author":[{"id":"46528076-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Konrad, Matthias","first_name":"Matthias","last_name":"Konrad"},{"last_name":"Vyleta","first_name":"Meghan","full_name":"Vyleta, Meghan","id":"418901AA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"},{"full_name":"Theis, Fabian","last_name":"Theis","first_name":"Fabian"},{"id":"42462816-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Stock","first_name":"Miriam","full_name":"Stock, Miriam"},{"id":"35A7A418-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Tragust, Simon","last_name":"Tragust","first_name":"Simon"},{"id":"E60F29C6-E9AE-11E9-AF6E-D190C7302F38","last_name":"Klatt","first_name":"Martina","full_name":"Klatt, Martina"},{"full_name":"Drescher, Verena","last_name":"Drescher","first_name":"Verena"},{"last_name":"Marr","first_name":"Carsten","full_name":"Marr, Carsten"},{"orcid":"0000-0003-1832-8883","full_name":"Ugelvig, Line V","first_name":"Line V","last_name":"Ugelvig","id":"3DC97C8E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"},{"id":"2F64EC8C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0002-2193-3868","full_name":"Cremer, Sylvia","first_name":"Sylvia","last_name":"Cremer"}],"scopus_import":1,"_id":"3242","intvolume":"        10","title":"Social transfer of pathogenic fungus promotes active immunisation in ant colonies","pubrep_id":"96","date_created":"2018-12-11T12:02:13Z","department":[{"_id":"SyCr"}],"publication_status":"published","file_date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:46:04Z","ec_funded":1,"quality_controlled":"1","publisher":"Public Library of Science","year":"2012","citation":{"ista":"Konrad M, Vyleta M, Theis F, Stock M, Tragust S, Klatt M, Drescher V, Marr C, Ugelvig LV, Cremer S. 2012.

Sanitary behaviour, such as pathogen avoidance and removal, acts as a first line of defence to prevent infection [1] before activation of the physiological immune system. Insect societies have evolved a wide range of collective hygiene measures and intensive health care towards pathogen-exposed group members [2]. One of the most common behaviours is allogrooming, in which nestmates remove infectious particles from the body surfaces of exposed individuals [3]. Here we show that, in invasive garden ants, grooming of fungus-exposed brood is effective beyond the sheer mechanical removal of fungal conidiospores as it also includes chemical disinfection through the application of poison produced by the ants themselves. Formic acid is the main active component of the poison. It inhibits fungal growth of conidiospores remaining on the brood surface after grooming and also those collected in the mouth of the grooming ant. This dual function is achieved by uptake of the poison droplet into the mouth through acidopore self-grooming and subsequent application onto the infectious brood via brood grooming. This extraordinary behaviour extends current understanding of grooming and the establishment of social immunity in insect societies.","lang":"eng"}],"oa":1,"doi":"10.5061/dryad.61649","day":"14","date_published":"2012-12-14T00:00:00Z","type":"research_data_reference","date_updated":"2023-02-23T11:04:28Z","citation":{"ista":"Tragust S, Mitteregger B, Barone V, Konrad M, Ugelvig LV, Cremer S. 2012.

The latter often inhabit ephemeral nest sites and accordingly are assumed to experience a higher mortality risk. Yet, all prior studies compared queens from different single- and multi-queen species. Here, we demonstrate an effect of queen number on longevity and fecundity within a single, socially plastic species, where queens experience the similar level of extrinsic mortality. Queens from single- and two-queen colonies had significantly longer lifespan and higher fecundity than queens living in associations of eight queens. As queens also differ neither in morphology nor the mode of colony foundation, our study shows that the social environment itself strongly affects ageing rate."}],"day":"21","doi":"10.1111/j.1420-9101.2011.02278.x","type":"journal_article","date_published":"2011-04-21T00:00:00Z","citation":{"ista":"Schrempf A, Cremer S, Heinze J. 2011.

Maculinea butterflies have been particularly affected because of their specialized lifecycles, requiring both specific food-plants and host-ants. However, the interaction between dispersal, effective population size, and long-term genetic erosion of these endangered butterflies remains unknown. Using non-destructive sampling, we investigated the genetic diversity of the last extant population of M. arion in Denmark, which experienced critically low numbers in the 1980s. Results: Using nine microsatellite markers, we show that the population is genetically impoverished compared to nearby populations in Sweden, but less so than monitoring programs suggested. Ten additional short repeat microsatellites were used to reconstruct changes in genetic diversity and population structure over the last 77 years from museum specimens. We also tested amplification efficiency in such historical samples as a function of repeat length and sample age. Low population numbers in the 1980s did not affect genetic diversity, but considerable turnover of alleles has characterized this population throughout the time-span of our analysis. Conclusions: Our results suggest that M. arion is less sensitive to genetic erosion via population bottlenecks than previously thought, and that managing clusters of high quality habitat may be key for long-term conservation.","lang":"eng"}],"day":"11","doi":"10.1186/1471-2148-11-201","file_date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:46:11Z","quality_controlled":"1","publisher":"BioMed Central","issue":"201","author":[{"first_name":"Line V","last_name":"Ugelvig","orcid":"0000-0003-1832-8883","full_name":"Ugelvig, Line V","id":"3DC97C8E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"},{"first_name":"Per","last_name":"Nielsen","full_name":"Nielsen, Per"},{"last_name":"Boomsma","first_name":"Jacobus","full_name":"Boomsma, Jacobus"},{"full_name":"Nash, David","first_name":"David","last_name":"Nash"}],"scopus_import":1,"_id":"3388","intvolume":"        11","title":"Reconstructing eight decades of genetic variation in an isolated Danish population of the large blue butterfly Maculinea arion","pubrep_id":"371","date_created":"2018-12-11T12:03:03Z","department":[{"_id":"SyCr"}],"publication_status":"published"},{"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"oa_version":"Published Version","month":"03","article_number":"e17323","publication":"PLoS One","has_accepted_license":"1","file":[{"creator":"system","file_id":"5162","relation":"main_file","access_level":"open_access","file_name":"IST-2015-377-v1+1_journal.pone.0017323.pdf","content_type":"application/pdf","date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:46:12Z","checksum":"46f8cbde61f06fcacf8fa297cacfa0e5","file_size":147367,"date_created":"2018-12-12T10:15:40Z"}],"user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","status":"public","publist_id":"3059","oa":1,"tmp":{"legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","short":"CC BY (4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by.png","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)"},"date_published":"2011-03-29T00:00:00Z","type":"journal_article","publisher":"Public Library of Science","quality_controlled":"1","file_date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:46:12Z","publication_status":"published","department":[{"_id":"SyCr"}],"date_created":"2018-12-11T12:03:07Z","title":"Competition and opportunity shape the reproductive tactics of males in the ant Cardiocondyla obscurior","pubrep_id":"377","intvolume":"         6","_id":"3399","scopus_import":1,"author":[{"id":"2F64EC8C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Cremer","first_name":"Sylvia","full_name":"Cremer, Sylvia","orcid":"0000-0002-2193-3868"},{"last_name":"Schrempf","first_name":"Alexandra","full_name":"Schrempf, Alexandra"},{"first_name":"Jürgen","last_name":"Heinze","full_name":"Heinze, Jürgen"}],"issue":"3","acknowledgement":"This work was supported by the German Science Foundation (www.dfg.de, He 1623/23).","volume":6,"ddc":["576"],"doi":"10.1371/journal.pone.0017323","day":"29","abstract":[{"text":"Context-dependent adjustment of mating tactics can drastically increase the mating success of behaviourally flexible animals. We used the ant Cardiocondyla obscurior as a model system to study adaptive adjustment of male mating tactics. This species shows a male diphenism of wingless fighter males and peaceful winged males. Whereas the wingless males stay and exclusively mate in the maternal colony, the mating behaviour of winged males is plastic. They copulate with female sexuals in their natal nests early in life but later disperse in search for sexuals outside. In this study, we observed the nest-leaving behaviour of winged males under different conditions and found that they adaptively adjust the timing of their dispersal to the availability of mating partners, as well as the presence, and even the type of competitors in their natal nests. In colonies with virgin female queens winged males stayed longest when they were the only male in the nest. They left earlier when mating partners were not available or when other males were present. In the presence of wingless, locally mating fighter males, winged males dispersed earlier than in the presence of docile, winged competitors. This suggests that C. obscurior males are capable of estimating their local breeding chances and adaptively adjust their dispersal behaviour in both an opportunistic and a risk-sensitive way, thus showing hitherto unknown behavioural plasticity in social insect males.","lang":"eng"}],"date_updated":"2021-01-12T07:43:12Z","year":"2011","citation":{"ista":"Cremer S, Schrempf A, Heinze J. 2011.
