説明
The dataset consists of occurrences of Myrmica scabrinodis nests, which were collected in May 2022 to study ants' task switching and immune response in the context of fungal ectoparasite infection. Fungal parasite - Rickia wasmannii occurrences have presence/absence data.

収集方法
Myrmica scabrinodis nests are located in the grass tussock. The whole tussock was dug with a shovel and transported to the laboratory in plastic bags. In the lab, the artificial nests were established, and infection was confirmed with the stereoscopic microscope.
| Study Extent | The study site was visited once, and 20 colonies of Myrmica scabrinodies were collected; 10 were infected with Rickia wasmannii and 10 were uninfected. Collected ants were transported to the laboratory in plastic bags. In the lab, ants were sorted and counted, and the presence and intensity of infection were measured. Ants were used for behavioural and physiological experiments. |

(https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0003347225003537) Abstract: Foraging is a critical activity for many animals, where individuals face many environmental pressures. Among these, parasite infection is one of the most negative threats, especially in social insects, where parasites can be shared among nestmates inside the nest and can affect colony functioning by altering the division of labour within a colony. In the ant Myrmica scabrinodis, the ectoparasite fungus Rickia wasmannii infects the majority of workers in the colony and is linked to reduced lifespan, enhanced immune responses and altered behaviour. Given that task allocation in M. scabrinodis is age dependent, we tested whether R. wasmannii infection accelerates the transition to foraging due to the ants’ shortened life expectancy. Our results confirmed that colonies with high infection intensity exhibited an earlier onset of foraging behaviour. Additionally, immune response, measured through phenoloxidase activity, was more strongly influenced by worker age than task switching or infection status, with older workers exhibiting higher immune activity. This suggests that while infection accelerates task switching, it does not directly impact immune function. Our findings highlight how chronic fungal infection can disrupt the division of labour in social insect colonies.
