  This is the article I got the info from: http://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2017/11/how-the-zombie-fungus-takes-over-ants-bodies-to-control-their-minds/545864 http://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2017/11/how-the-z... This seems to be the referenced paper: https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.1711673114 https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.1711673114 I was wrong about it being from a few months ago though. It was released in 2017 already.

    It's unclear from that source that the complex fungal network in the ant is in any way important for controlling ant behavior. It's only speculated.
