cricket, Parasitic and Ant colony
Parasitic crickets have a few moves to outsmart ants
Ants are known to kill intruders when they are detected to protect the colony. To avoid attacks, ant crickets use various behaviors that scientists are still figuring out. In this new study, the team looked at a cricket ant species Myrmecophilus tetramorii.
How crickets co-exist with hostile ant hosts
Researchers at Nagoya University in Japan have identified the behavioral strategies that parasitic cricket species employ to infiltrate and inhabit host ant colonies. Their research demonstrates that these crickets use "distancing" and "dodging" behaviors,
The engineering and defensive skills of red wood ants help the endangered species transcend its small stature in the natural world.
However, when ants joined forces and formed groups ... Tabea Dreyer, one of the researchers, created a real-life version of what is known as the “piano movers puzzle,” a robotics problem ...
