Abstract Background Social insects form densely crowded societies in environments with high pathogen loads, but have evolved collective defences that mitigate the impact of disease.However, colony-founding queens lack this protection and suffer high rates of mortality.The impact of pathogens may be exacerbated in species where queens found colonies

Temperature explains intraspecific functional trait variation in Phragmites australis more effectively than soil properties
Common reed (Phragmites australis) is a widespread grass species that exhibits a high degree of intraspecific variation for functional traits along environmental gradients.However, the mechanisms underlying intraspecific variation and adaptation strategies in NUTRI B50 COMPLEXE response to environmental gradients on a regional scale remain poorly u
