Oecophylla smaragdina, the Asian weaver ant, called green ant across much of South and Southeast Asia, builds its nest entirely from living tree leaves, bound together with silk it does not produce ...
In the clonal raider ant (Ooceraea biroi), workers in a colony alternate between caring for larvae and laying eggs in a coordinated cycle. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology ...
Perched on the hillsides of the Mezquital Valley in Hidalgo, Mexico, sits a family-run farm called Teotlacualli. While a variety of vegetables are grown here, this farm serves as a base for another ...
In an ant nest, adults are carrying larvae. They placed them on top of the pupae. The larvae then attached their mouths to ...
Parental-care behaviours include mammalian lactation to provide milk for offspring. The discovery that adult ants harvest nutritious fluid from pupae and give larvae this fluid reveals social feeding ...
Life in an ant colony is a symphony of subtle interactions between insects acting in concert, more like cells in tissue than independent organisms bunking in a colony. Now, researchers have discovered ...
How complex ant societies emerged among ants’ solitary ancestors remains one of the big mysteries of social insect biology. Ants are eusocial, meaning that they have overlapping generations, ...

Researchers have discovered a brood pheromone released by larvae of clonal raider ants that temporarily suppresses egg-laying in adult ants. Previous studies have shown that the presence of larvae is ...
