Caption

Each member of a colony of clonal raider ants Ooceraea biroi is tagged with colored dots so that the behavior of each individual can be accurately tracked. Leaving the nest for foraging as a result of social division of labor could be linked to an increased risk of parasitic infection in the current study.
