Natural history and ecological effects on the establishment and fate of Florida carpenter ant cadavers infected by the parasitic manipulator <i>Ophiocordyceps camponoti-floridani</i>

2022-10-24

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Ophiocordyceps fungi manipulate the behavior of their ant hosts to produce a summit disease phenotype, thereby establishing infected ant cadavers onto vegetation at elevated positions suitable for fungal growth and transmission. Multiple environmental and ecological factors have been proposed to shape the timing, positioning, and outcome of these manipulations. We conducted a long-term field st...
