Both behavior-manipulating and non-manipulating entomopathogenic fungi affect rhythmic gene expression in carpenter ant foragers upon infection

2023-01-20

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> Behavioral plasticity in the nocturnal ant Camponotus floridanus is associated with changes in daily rhythms of core clock and clock-controlled genes in the brain. Plasticity in clock-controlled output, although adaptive, has been hypothesized to be a target for parasites that change host behavior in a timely manner to complete their life cycle. This study aims to explore t...
