text: 'Social insect societies are long-standing models for understanding social
behaviour and evolution. Unlike other advanced biological societies (such as the
multicellular body), the component parts of social insect societies can be easily
deconstructed and manipulated. Recent methodological and theoretical innovations
have exploited this trait to address an expanded range of biological questions.
We illustrate the broadening range of biological insight coming from social insect
biology with four examples. These new frontiers promote open-minded, interdisciplinary
exploration of one of the richest and most complex of biological phenomena: sociality.'

text: The social insects bees, wasps, ants, and termites are species-rich, occur
in many habitats, and often constitute a large part of the biomass. 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.

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.

text: Infections with potentially lethal pathogens may negatively affect an individual’s
lifespan and decrease its reproductive value. The terminal investment hypothesis
predicts that individuals faced with a reduced survival should invest more into
reproduction instead of maintenance and growth. Several studies suggest that individuals
are indeed able to estimate their body condition and to increase their reproductive
effort with approaching death, while other studies gave ambiguous results. We
investigate whether queens of a perennial social insect (ant) are able to boost
their reproduction following infection with an obligate killing pathogen. Social
insect queens are special with regard to reproduction and aging, as they outlive
conspecific non-reproductive workers. Moreover, in the ant Cardiocondyla obscurior,
fecundity increases with queen age. However, it remained unclear whether this
reflects negative reproductive senescence or terminal investment in response to
approaching death. Here, we test whether queens of C. obscurior react to infection
with the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium brunneum by an increased egg-laying
rate. We show that a fungal infection triggers a reinforced investment in reproduction
in queens. This adjustment of the reproductive rate by ant queens is consistent
with predictions of the terminal investment hypothesis and is reported for the
first time in a social insect.

text: 'Background: The phenomenon of immune priming, i.e. enhanced protection following
a secondary exposure to a pathogen, has now been demonstrated in a wide range
of invertebrate species. Despite accumulating phenotypic evidence, knowledge of
its mechanistic underpinnings is currently very limited. Here we used the system
of the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum and the insect pathogen Bacillus
thuringiensis (Bt) to further our molecular understanding of the oral immune priming
phenomenon. We addressed how ingestion of bacterial cues (derived from spore supernatants)
of an orally pathogenic and non-pathogenic Bt strain affects gene expression upon
later challenge exposure, using a whole-transcriptome sequencing approach. Results:
Whereas gene expression of individuals primed with the orally non-pathogenic strain
showed minor changes to controls, we found that priming with the pathogenic strain
induced regulation of a large set of distinct genes, many of which are known immune
candidates. Intriguingly, the immune repertoire activated upon priming and subsequent
challenge qualitatively differed from the one mounted upon infection with Bt without
previous priming. Moreover, a large subset of priming-specific genes showed an
inverse regulation compared to their regulation upon challenge only. Conclusions:
Our data demonstrate that gene expression upon infection is strongly affected
by previous immune priming. We hypothesise that this shift in gene expression
indicates activation of a more targeted and efficient response towards a previously
encountered pathogen, in anticipation of potential secondary encounter.'

text: The rare socially parasitic butterfly Maculinea alcon occurs in two forms,
which are characteristic of hygric or xeric habitats and which exploit different
host plants and host ants. The status of these two forms has been the subject
of considerable controversy. Populations of the two forms are usually spatially
distinct, but at Răscruci in Romania both forms occur on the same site (syntopically).
We examined the genetic differentiation between the two forms using eight microsatellite
markers, and compared with a nearby hygric site, Şardu. Our results showed that
while the two forms are strongly differentiated at Răscruci, it is the xeric form
there that is most similar to the hygric form at Şardu, and Bayesian clustering
algorithms suggest that these two populations have exchanged genes relatively
recently. We found strong evidence for population substructuring, caused by high
within host ant nest relatedness, indicating very limited dispersal of most ovipositing
females, but not association with particular host ant species. Our results are
consistent with the results of larger scale phylogeographic studies that suggest
that the two forms represent local ecotypes specialising on different host plants,
each with a distinct flowering phenology, providing a temporal rather than spatial
barrier to gene flow.

text: Across multicellular organisms, the costs of reproduction and self-maintenance
result in a life history trade-off between fecundity and longevity. 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.

text: Down syndrome cell adhesion molecule 1 (Dscam1) has widereaching and vital
neuronal functions although the role it plays in insect and crustacean immunity
is less well understood. In this study, we combine different approaches to understand
the roles that Dscam1 plays in fitness-related contexts in two model insect species.
Contrary to our expectations, we found no short-term modulation of Dscam1 gene
expression after haemocoelic or oral bacterial exposure in Tribolium castaneum,
or after haemocoelic bacterial exposure in Drosophila melanogaster. Furthermore,
RNAi-mediated Dscam1 knockdown and subsequent bacterial exposure did not reduce
T. castaneum survival. However, Dscam1 knockdown in larvae resulted in adult locomotion
defects, as well as dramatically reduced fecundity in males and females. We suggest
that Dscam1 does not always play a straightforward role in immunity, but strongly
influences behaviour and fecundity. This study takes a step towards understanding
more about the role of this intriguing gene from different phenotypic perspectives.

text: Emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) have contributed significantly to the
current biodiversity crisis, leading to widespread epidemics and population loss.
Owing to genetic variation in pathogen virulence, a complete understanding of
species decline requires the accurate identification and characterization of EIDs.
We explore this issue in the Western honeybee, where increasing mortality of populations
in the Northern Hemisphere has caused major concern. Specifically, we investigate
the importance of genetic identity of the main suspect in mortality, deformed
wing virus (DWV), in driving honeybee loss. Using laboratory experiments and a
systematic field survey, we demonstrate that an emerging DWV genotype (DWV-B)
is more virulent than the established DWV genotype (DWV-A) and is widespread in
the landscape. Furthermore, we show in a simple model that colonies infected with
DWV-B collapse sooner than colonies infected with DWV-A. We also identify potential
for rapid DWV evolution by revealing extensive genome-wide recombination in vivo.
The emergence of DWV-B in naive honeybee populations, including via recombination
with DWV-A, could be of significant ecological and economic importance. Our findings
emphasize that knowledge of pathogen genetic identity and diversity is critical
to understanding drivers of species decline.

text: 'Summary: Declining populations of bee pollinators are a cause of concern,
with major repercussions for biodiversity loss and food security. RNA viruses
associated with honeybees represent a potential threat to other insect pollinators,
but the extent of this threat is poorly understood. This study aims to attain
a detailed understanding of the current and ongoing risk of emerging infectious
disease (EID) transmission between managed and wild pollinator species across
a wide range of RNA viruses. Within a structured large-scale national survey across
26 independent sites, we quantify the prevalence and pathogen loads of multiple
RNA viruses in co-occurring managed honeybee (Apis mellifera) and wild bumblebee
(Bombus spp.) populations. We then construct models that compare virus prevalence
between wild and managed pollinators. Multiple RNA viruses associated with honeybees
are widespread in sympatric wild bumblebee populations. Virus prevalence in honeybees
is a significant predictor of virus prevalence in bumblebees, but we remain cautious
in speculating over the principle direction of pathogen transmission. We demonstrate
species-specific differences in prevalence, indicating significant variation in
disease susceptibility or tolerance. Pathogen loads within individual bumblebees
may be high and in the case of at least one RNA virus, prevalence is higher in
wild bumblebees than in managed honeybee populations. Our findings indicate widespread
transmission of RNA viruses between managed and wild bee pollinators, pointing
to an interconnected network of potential disease pressures within and among pollinator
species. In the context of the biodiversity crisis, our study emphasizes the importance
of targeting a wide range of pathogens and defining host associations when considering
potential drivers of population decline.'

text: To prevent epidemics, insect societies have evolved collective disease defences
that are highly effective at curing exposed individuals and limiting disease transmission
to healthy group members. Grooming is an important sanitary behaviour—either performed
towards oneself (self-grooming) or towards others (allogrooming)—to remove infectious
agents from the body surface of exposed individuals, but at the risk of disease
contraction by the groomer. We use garden ants (Lasius neglectus) and the fungal
pathogen Metarhizium as a model system to study how pathogen presence affects
self-grooming and allogrooming between exposed and healthy individuals. We develop
an epidemiological SIS model to explore how experimentally observed grooming patterns
affect disease spread within the colony, thereby providing a direct link between
the expression and direction of sanitary behaviours, and their effects on colony-level
epidemiology. We find that fungus-exposed ants increase self-grooming, while simultaneously
decreasing allogrooming. This behavioural modulation seems universally adaptive
and is predicted to contain disease spread in a great variety of host–pathogen
systems. In contrast, allogrooming directed towards pathogen-exposed individuals
might both increase and decrease disease risk. Our model reveals that the effect
of allogrooming depends on the balance between pathogen infectiousness and efficiency
of social host defences, which are likely to vary across host–pathogen systems.

text: This paper introduces a theme issue presenting the latest developments in
research on the impacts of sociality on health and fitness. The articles that
follow cover research on societies ranging from insects to humans. Variation in
measures of fitness (i.e. survival and reproduction) has been linked to various
aspects of sociality in humans and animals alike, and variability in individual
health and condition has been recognized as a key mediator of these relationships.
Viewed from a broad evolutionary perspective, the evolutionary transitions from
a solitary lifestyle to group living have resulted in several new health-related
costs and benefits of sociality. Social transmission of parasites within groups
represents a major cost of group living, but some behavioural mechanisms, such
as grooming, have evolved repeatedly to reduce this cost. Group living also has
created novel costs in terms of altered susceptibility to infectious and non-infectious
disease as a result of the unavoidable physiological consequences of social competition
and integration, which are partly alleviated by social buffering in some vertebrates.
Here, we define the relevant aspects of sociality, summarize their health-related
costs and benefits, and discuss possible fitness measures in different study systems.
Given the pervasive effects of social factors on health and fitness, we propose
a synthesis of existing conceptual approaches in disease ecology, ecological immunology
and behavioural neurosciences by adding sociality as a key factor, with the goal
to generate a broader framework for organismal integration of health-related research.

text: 'Entomopathogenic fungi are potent biocontrol agents that are widely used
against insect pests, many of which are social insects. Nevertheless, theoretical
investigations of their particular life history are scarce. We develop a model
that takes into account the main distinguishing features between traditionally
studied diseases and obligate killing pathogens, like the (biocontrol-relevant)
insect-pathogenic fungi Metarhizium and Beauveria. First, obligate killing entomopathogenic
fungi produce new infectious particles (conidiospores) only after host death and
not yet on the living host. Second, the killing rates of entomopathogenic fungi
depend strongly on the initial exposure dosage, thus we explicitly consider the
pathogen load of individual hosts. Further, we make the model applicable not only
to solitary host species, but also to group living species by incorporating social
interactions between hosts, like the collective disease defences of insect societies.
Our results identify the optimal killing rate for the pathogen that minimises
its invasion threshold. Furthermore, we find that the rate of contact between
hosts has an ambivalent effect: dense interaction networks between individuals
are considered to facilitate disease outbreaks because of increased pathogen transmission.
In social insects, this is compensated by their collective disease defences, i.e.,
social immunity. For the type of pathogens considered here, we show that even
without social immunity, high contact rates between live individuals dilute the
pathogen in the host colony and hence can reduce individual pathogen loads below
disease-causing levels.'

text: 'Summary: Declining populations of bee pollinators are a cause of concern,
with major repercussions for biodiversity loss and food security. RNA viruses
associated with honeybees represent a potential threat to other insect pollinators,
but the extent of this threat is poorly understood. This study aims to attain
a detailed understanding of the current and ongoing risk of emerging infectious
disease (EID) transmission between managed and wild pollinator species across
a wide range of RNA viruses. Within a structured large-scale national survey across
26 independent sites, we quantify the prevalence and pathogen loads of multiple
RNA viruses in co-occurring managed honeybee (Apis mellifera) and wild bumblebee
(Bombus spp.) populations. We then construct models that compare virus prevalence
between wild and managed pollinators. Multiple RNA viruses associated with honeybees
are widespread in sympatric wild bumblebee populations. Virus prevalence in honeybees
is a significant predictor of virus prevalence in bumblebees, but we remain cautious
in speculating over the principle direction of pathogen transmission. We demonstrate
species-specific differences in prevalence, indicating significant variation in
disease susceptibility or tolerance. Pathogen loads within individual bumblebees
may be high and in the case of at least one RNA virus, prevalence is higher in
wild bumblebees than in managed honeybee populations. Our findings indicate widespread
transmission of RNA viruses between managed and wild bee pollinators, pointing
to an interconnected network of potential disease pressures within and among pollinator
species. In the context of the biodiversity crisis, our study emphasizes the importance
of targeting a wide range of pathogens and defining host associations when considering
potential drivers of population decline.'
