Gut microbiota influences foraging onset without affecting division of labor and associated physiological hallmarks in honeybees

J. Liberti, E. T. Frank, T. Kay, L. Kesner, M. Monie-Ibanes, A. Quinn, T. Schmitt, L. Keller, P. Engel

This study shows that gut microbiota in honeybees affects the onset of foraging but not division of labor or associated physiological traits.

A defined community of core gut microbiota members promotes cognitive performance in honey bees

A. Cabirol, J. Schafer, N. Neuschwander, L. Kesner, J. Liberti, P. Engel

This study identifies a defined gut microbiota community in honey bees that enhances cognitive performance through synergistic effects, not individual members or total biomass.

Antimicrobial wound care in an ant society

E. T. Frank, L. Kesner, J. Liberti, Q. Helleu, A. LeBoeuf, A. Dascalu, D. Sponsler, F. Azuma, E. Economo, P. Waridel, P. Engel, T. Schmitt, L. Keller

This study shows that ants use antimicrobial compounds from their metapleural gland to treat infected wounds, reducing mortality by 90%.

The gut microbiota affects the social network of honeybees

J. Liberti, T. Kay, A. Quinn, L. Kesner, E. T. Frank, A. Cabirol, T. O. Richardson, P. Engel, L. Keller

This study shows that gut microbiota manipulation in honeybees increases social interaction rates and specialization, linked to brain metabolite and transcriptional changes.
