Abstract in brief
This text explores how certain fungal parasites, known as behavioral manipulators, manipulate living insects to serve their own purposes, often causing these insects to act in ways that benefit the fungus.
It explains the mechanisms behind this behavioral betrayal, detailing how specific fungi can alter the insect's mind or behavior, effectively turning them into unwitting agents.
The article highlights the complexity of these interactions, showing how these fungi have evolved sophisticated strategies to ensure their own survival and spread through their insect hosts.]
Animal symbionts is one of my favorite lectures that I give in my field mycology class. Thank you @kasson_wvu and @CharissaB for giving me the opportunity to talk about zombies, mind altering drugs, and butt plugs in my class today
