  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: 'Contagious diseases must transmit from infectious to susceptible hosts in
    order to reproduce. Whilst vectored pathogens can rely on intermediaries to find
    new hosts for them, many infectious pathogens require close contact or direct
    interaction between hosts for transmission. Hence, this means that conspecifics
    are often the main source of infection for most animals and so, in theory, animals
    should avoid conspecifics to reduce their risk of infection. Of course, in reality
    animals must interact with one another, as a bare minimum, to mate. However, being
    social provides many additional benefits and group living has become a taxonomically
    diverse and widespread trait. How then do social animals overcome the issue of
    increased disease? Over the last few decades, the social insects (ants, termites
    and some bees and wasps) have become a model system for studying disease in social
    animals. On paper, a social insect colony should be particularly susceptible to
    disease, given that they often contain thousands of potential hosts that are closely
    related and frequently interact, as well as exhibiting stable environmental conditions
    that encourage microbial growth. Yet, disease outbreaks appear to be rare and
    attempts to eradicate pest species using pathogens have failed time and again.
    Evolutionary biologists investigating this observation have discovered that the
    reduced disease susceptibility in social insects is, in part, due to collectively
    performed disease defences of the workers. These defences act like a “social immune
    system” for the colony, resulting in a per capita decrease in disease, termed
    social immunity. Our understanding of social immunity, and its importance in relation
    to the immunological defences of each insect, continues to grow, but there remain
    many open questions. In this thesis I have studied disease defence in garden ants.
    In the first data chapter, I use the invasive garden ant, Lasius neglectus, to
    investigate how colonies mitigate lethal infections and prevent them from spreading
    systemically. I find that ants have evolved ‘destructive disinfection’ – a behaviour
    that uses endogenously produced acidic poison to kill diseased brood and to prevent
    the pathogen from replicating. In the second experimental chapter, I continue
    to study the use of poison in invasive garden ant colonies, finding that it is
    sprayed prophylactically within the nest. However, this spraying has negative
    effects on developing pupae when they have had their cocoons artificially removed.
    Hence, I suggest that acidic nest sanitation may be maintaining larval cocoon
    spinning in this species. In the next experimental chapter, I investigated how
    colony founding black garden ant queens (Lasius niger) prevent disease when a
    co-foundress dies. I show that ant queens prophylactically perform undertaking
    behaviours, similar to those performed by the workers in mature nests. When a
    co-foundress was infected, these undertaking behaviours improved the survival
    of the healthy queen. In the final data chapter, I explored how immunocompetence
    (measured as antifungal activity) changes as incipient black garden ant colonies
    grow and mature, from the solitary queen phase to colonies with several hundred
    workers. Queen and worker antifungal activity varied throughout this time period,
    but despite social immunity, did not decrease as colonies matured. In addition
    to the above data chapters, this thesis includes two co-authored reviews. In the
    first, we examine the state of the art in the field of social immunity and how
    it might develop in the future. In the second, we identify several challenges
    and open questions in the study of disease defence in animals. We highlight how
    social insects offer a unique model to tackle some of these problems, as disease
    defence can be studied from the cell to the society. '

  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: '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 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: 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: 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: '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: 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: Reproduction within a host and transmission to the next host are crucial for
    the virulence and fitness of pathogens. Nevertheless, basic knowledge about such
    parameters is often missing from the literature, even for well-studied bacteria,
    such as Bacillus thuringiensis, an endospore-forming insect pathogen, which infects
    its hosts via the oral route. To characterize bacterial replication success, we
    made use of an experimental oral infection system for the red flour beetle Tribolium
    castaneum and developed a flow cytometric assay for the quantification of both
    spore ingestion by the individual beetle larvae and the resulting spore load after
    bacterial replication and resporulation within cadavers. On average, spore numbers
    increased 460-fold, showing that Bacillus thuringiensis grows and replicates successfully
    in insect cadavers. By inoculating cadaver-derived spores and spores from bacterial
    stock cultures into nutrient medium, we next investigated outgrowth characteristics
    of vegetative cells and found that cadaver- derived bacteria showed reduced growth
    compared to bacteria from the stock cultures. Interestingly, this reduced growth
    was a consequence of inhibited spore germination, probably originating from the
    host and resulting in reduced host mortality in subsequent infections by cadaver-derived
    spores. Nevertheless, we further showed that Bacillus thuringiensis transmission
    was possible via larval cannibalism when no other food was offered. These results
    contribute to our understanding of the ecology of Bacillus thuringiensis as an
    insect pathogen.

  text: 'Reciprocal coevolution between host and pathogen is widely seen as a major
    driver of evolution and biological innovation. Yet, to date, the underlying genetic
    mechanisms and associated trait functions that are unique to rapid coevolutionary
    change are generally unknown. We here combined experimental evolution of the bacterial
    biocontrol agent Bacillus thuringiensis and its nematode host Caenorhabditis elegans
    with large-scale phenotyping, whole genome analysis, and functional genetics to
    demonstrate the selective benefit of pathogen virulence and the underlying toxin
    genes during the adaptation process. We show that: (i) high virulence was specifically
    favoured during pathogen–host coevolution rather than pathogen one-sided adaptation
    to a nonchanging host or to an environment without host; (ii) the pathogen genotype
    BT-679 with known nematocidal toxin genes and high virulence specifically swept
    to fixation in all of the independent replicate populations under coevolution
    but only some under one-sided adaptation; (iii) high virulence in the BT-679-dominated
    populations correlated with elevated copy numbers of the plasmid containing the
    nematocidal toxin genes; (iv) loss of virulence in a toxin-plasmid lacking BT-679
    isolate was reconstituted by genetic reintroduction or external addition of the
    toxins.We conclude that sustained coevolution is distinct from unidirectional
    selection in shaping the pathogen''s genome and life history characteristics.
    To our knowledge, this study is the first to characterize the pathogen genes involved
    in coevolutionary adaptation in an animal host–pathogen interaction system.'

  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.
