"Ants amputate injured legs of nestmates to improve their survival
Amputations increase survival for femur injuries but not tibia injuries
Pathogen spread is slower in femur injuries than the more distal tibia injuries
Ants are capable of differentiating wound type and adapt their treatment accordingly"
