Tomb evaders: house-hunting hygiene in ants.

Nigel R Franks1, James Hooper, Catherine Webb, Anna Dornhaus.   

Abstract

House-hunting ants avoid otherwise excellent potential nest sites that contain dead ants which may pose risks from poor hygiene. This discovery adds another category to the exceptionally long list of nest site attributes that ants evaluate. It further indicates the importance of disease as a selection pressure on social insects.
