Microbial associates and social behavior in ants

We first examine the most common types of microorganismal associations that ants engage in and then briefly summarize what is known about the role of symbiotic microbes in ant social behavior Finally we propose future directions in the field in the light of

What are the research topics for ants?
Because of their overall importance to human interest and welfare, ants are the subjects of scientific research on a wide variety of subjects, including behavior, robotics, immunochemistry, neurobiology, development, community ecology, biology of invasive species, and sociobiology.
What are learned behavior in ants?
Ants teach what they learn to other ants
For example, ants may use pheromones to teach the way to around a new home, stopping every few steps, allowing the ant behind it to look around and memorize landmarks and new colony movements (also called “budding”).
Ants are social insects that have been studied within behavioural ecology, both for their colony personality and for their individual personalities.
Studies have shown a difference of individual personality reflecting their role in the colony in different species (Chapman et al 2011).

What is the behavior of an ant?

The most distinguishing trait of ant behavior is sociability.
Ants do not act individually.
Instead, they behave according to the needs of the colony in roles dictated by the caste—or job class, such as worker or soldier—into which they are born.
The major social unit is the colony, which forms a nest.

A research study found that the forager ants decide when to leave their nest based on how often the other foragers return with food. If there's plenty of food nearby, the foraging ants return quickly and recruit more workers to help gather food.
