ON THE METAPLEURAL GLAND OF ANTS. BY BERT HOLLDOBLER AND HILTRUD ENGEL-SIEGEL. Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology,.
The results showed that colonies have a strong preference for the empty nest (two-tailed binomial test: P=0.008; Fig. 1A). This pattern remained consistent even when the tethered ants were removed from the nest before a migration started… Myrmecophagy is a feeding behavior defined by the consumption of termites or ants, particularly as pertaining to those animal species whose diets are largely or exclusively composed of said insect types. The Pulitzer Prize for General Nonfiction is one of the seven American Pulitzer Prizes that are annually awarded for Letters, Drama, and Music. In the farming, the ants protect the aphids while they excrete a sugary fluid called honeydew, which the ants get by stroking the aphids with their antennae. Although he studied many aspects of army ant biology, he particularly focused on the animals associated with the ants and especially mites which live on the ants. Tandem running is a social learning phenomenon seen mostly in ants, by which one ant leads another native ant from the nest to the food source it has found. One point in the book presents an analogy about how individual neurons in the brain coordinate to create a unified sense of a coherent mind by comparing it to the social organization displayed in a colony of ants.

I know Bert Hölldobler has an unpublished report about a C. consobrinus queen living for 7 years that was mentioned in The Ants, as well as another source having a list of observed nuptial flights. The term siafu is a loanword from Swahili, and is one of numerous similar words from regional Bantu languages used by indigenous peoples to describe various species of these ants. Mainly nocturnal M. nigriceps is found in hot hilly areas and woodland, nesting underground in mounds. The ant's diet consists of sweet liquids from flowering plants and invertebrate prey, which are fed to the carnivorous larvae. A narrative table of contents provides an overview of the project, which largely consisted of a series of road journeys by McPhee across the North American continent in the company of noted geologists. The work received the 1985 Pulitzer Prize for General Non-Fiction.

The Ants is a zoology textbook by the German entomologist Bert Hölldobler and the American But "The Ants, like every great book and every ant colony, is much more than the sum of its parts."
