THE INTERNATIONAL UNION FOR THE STUDY OF
SOCIAL INSECTS
The home of social insect biology, since 1952
Leafcutter ants ferry leaves to the nest, to cultivate an edible fungus - inventing agriculture many millions of years before humans.
The IUSSI is the world's society for social insect science.
We support research, organise international congresses, publish the journal Insectes Sociaux, and promote public outreach.
