Surgery — Not Just For Humans Anymore

Sometimes, a limb is damaged so badly that the only way to save the patient is to amputate it. Researchers have now found that humans aren’t the only species to perform life-saving amputation…

Saving Australia’s Ants With Age Of Empires II

Australia’s native meat ants are struggling. Invasive species of foreign ants have a foothold on the continent, and are increasingly outcompeting their native rivals for territory. Beyond sim…

Ant mega-colony takes over world

A single mega-colony of ants has colonised much of the world, scientists have discovered.

Argentine ants living in vast numbers across Europe, the US and Japan belong to the same inter-related colony, and will refuse to fight one another.

The colony may be the largest of its type ever known for any insect species, and could rival humans in the scale of its world domination.

What's more, people are unwittingly helping the mega-colony stick together.

Argentine ants (Linepithema humile) were once native to South America. But people have unintentionally introduced the ants to all continents except Antarctica.

Another day, another bug problem!

Now it's the ants turn!

Wonder if they act as pollinators or placing aphids on the plant to milk them?

Going to look for aphids later.

Ant Colonies Act Eerily Like a Neural Network, New Research Finds

Colonies of ants can act a lot like neural networks, new research has revealed, with groups of the insects weighing up both external inputs and internal principles when making decisions about what to do as a collective.

E.O. Wilson, naturalist dubbed a modern-day Darwin, dies at 92

Edward O. Wilson, a U.S. naturalist dubbed the "modern-day Darwin" died on Sunday at the age of 92 in Massachusetts, his foundation said in a statement.

Alongside British naturalist David Attenborough, Wilson was considered one of the world's leading authorities on natural history and conservation.

Wilson's Half-Earth Project calls for protecting half the planet's land and sea so there are enough diverse and well-connected ecosystems to reverse the course of species extinction, which is happening at a rate not seen in 10 million years....

Ants Could Help Explain Why Our Brains Mysteriously Shrank Thousands of Years Ago
In the 6 million years since our ancestors first branched off from our ancient primate relatives, the volume of the human brain has nearly quadrupled.
What many people don't realize, however, is that sometime after the last ice age, that very brain actually began to shrink.

A Moth, Now by Any Other Name

This Moth’s Name Is a Slur. Scientists Won’t Use It Anymore.

The Entomological Society of America will no longer refer to common species of insects as “gypsy moths” and “gypsy ants,” because their names are derogatory to the Romani people.

Two ants doing ant stuff on top of what is perhaps the best-tasting wil mushroom you can eat: Chicken of the woods. I actually found some at a park near my house a couple of months ago. These ants know what's good.
