INVESTIGATING ANT COLONY SEARCHING: A LINK TO A CITIZEN

Mar 27 2015 · thinking and develop explanations about ant search behavior in a novel area Students also discuss additional questions they have about ant colony search behavior and design further experiments The questions students investigate are: 1) Do ants adjust their searching behavior when the area to be searched grows larger?

In a Novel Situation Ants can Learn to React as Never Before

the ants’ sugar water supply was removed and to examine if the ants could effectively learn a hitherto never exhibited behavior another experiment was conducted the day after For this next experiment the double door of each sugar water tube was nearly shut: each side made an angle of only 2°-5° with the plane of the tube entrance

Are ants evolutionarily divergent?
Using the evolutionarily divergent ants Camponotus floridanus, Atta cephalotes, and Harpegnathos saltator as model systems, our group seeks to understand the epigenetic mechanisms that establish, sustain, and modulate caste-based division of behavior, as well as lifespan, which can differ between castes by up to 40 years!
How do you make science experiments on ants?
Cool Ant Experiments A great way to come up with science experiments on ants is to start out by watching what they do. Before you collect some from their nest to put in an ant farm, watch how they behave outside.
Do ant colonies have different phenotypes?
Within most ant colonies there exist multiple types of physiologically-distinct individuals (termed castes). Despite being a very closely related family, these alternative phenotypes are as different from one another at the molecular and phenotypic level as they are from other species.
Why do ants use asterisks?
We have pointed a few of them out using an asterisk ( * ) symbol. Like you and me, ants use their heads to sense information about the world around them. This is very important for their survival and the life of the colony.
