As was expected, some aphid milkers of L. fuliginosus quickly detected aphids contaminated with Beauveria bassiana conidia and carried them far away from the aphid colony. As for Beauveria bassiana s.l., it is known to be a widespread entomophathogenic fungus attacking an extremely broad range of hosts, including aphids and ants [47,48,49,50].

As for Lasius niger (Linnaeus, 1758), the only ant of the genus Lasius studied so far, aphid milkers of this ant species tend to demonstrate non-aggressive reactions towards aphids covered with conidia (neutral reaction, antennation, honeydew collection, grooming) without making any difference between familiar aphids and newcomers covered with conidia [34].

The study of the reaction of L. fuliginosus towards fungus-contaminated aphids has shown that quarantining behaviour is not limited to the ants of the genus Formica. To test the impact of fungal contamination on the displayed aggressive reactions by Lasius fuliginosus milkers when encountering experimental aphidsn = 117 (ant demonstrated at least one of the aggressive reactions mentioned above or not), excluding the differing influence of some other factorsthe main effects of treatment (fungus-exposed or not), colony (n = 3), the number of aphid milkers (NAM) and aphid colony size (NAPH), as well as interaction of treatment and ant colony (treatment * colony) were analysed using Generalized Linear Models (GLMs), with binomial distribution. 2020.

In ants, this collective defence includes a broad range of behaviours aimed at avoidance, control or disposal of pathogenic microorganisms: chemical disinfection through the application of poison secretion produced by ants [10,11] and tree resin [12,13], (allo-)grooming [14,15,16], corpse removal and burying infected nestmates [17,18,19,20], prophylactic wound care [21] and even becoming unsociable when infected [22,23].

To avoid such an effect, experimental aphids of C. populeti were collected directly before testing from the conspecific aphid colonies located on the other branches of the experimental aspen tree and tended by foragers from the same ant colony. Bulletin Soc. 4392. 1996. Proceedings of the Royal Irish Academy. The ant colony, the number of milkers, or the aphid colony size had no significant effects on the behaviour of L. fuliginosus milkers towards experimental aphids (Table 1). See more Black garden ant.

Despite both of these experimental investigations being carried out with the same methodology using fungal pathogen B. bassiana, the extant data of aphid removal is difficult to compare because it is impossible to exclude the impact of some important factors (e.g., aphid species, year, etc.).
