What is Ants Alter Nests to Combat Fungal Infections about?

Researchers at the University of Bristol discovered that black garden ants alter their nest structures to reduce the spread of fungal infections. The study showed that infected ants dug new tunnels more quickly and changed the placement of their queen and food to less central locations. These modifications helped decrease the fungal load in the colony, enhancing its survival chances.
