Aryel C. Goes studies the biology of social insects, especially ants and termites, focusing on how these insect societies defend themselves against parasites and disease at both the individual and colony (social) level. Much of the work examines fungus-growing (leaf-cutting) ants, their symbiotic fungal gardens, and the pathogens and social parasites that threaten these relationships. This research combines behavioral ecology, microbiology, and immunology to understand how group-living insects recognize and respond to biological threats.
