๐Ÿœโœจ Did you know #colony size may shape how #ants sense and recognize each other? A study by Wulfila Gronenberg, R. Keating Godfrey and Jill T. Oberski shows that ants in larger colonies invest more in specialized smell-based recognition systems, while ants in smaller colonies rely on basic traits to identify nestmates. Check out their dataset and article at https://doi.org/10.25422/azu.data.14878110 and https://doi.org/10.3389/fevo.2021.733023. Image: Godfrey et al. (2021).

"Living organisms are assumed to produce same-species offspring." You'd think this would be obvious and yet...the natural world. [2/]

Because the world is stupid it needs more normal. Normal like this wasps nest with it's busy workers.

"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"
