Evenly Matched Zombie ants!


Evenly Matched

Zombie ants!

A fungus that invades the brains of ants, turning them into zombies on a death march, may have met its match. Another parasitic fungus, it turns out, effectively castrates the zombie-ant fungus so it can't spread its spores, a new study finds. Shown here, the mature, fruiting body of a zombie fungus is growing through this zombie ant's neck.
