蚂蚁是社群性昆虫,一群蚂蚁上千至万,其中的蚁后、雄蚁(是少数),它们是由庞大的工蚁队伍来喂养。工蚁中还有兵蚁。蚂蚁群体分工明确,各司其职。它们在频繁活动中是要互相通讯——传递信息的。那么蚂蚁是怎样通讯——传递信息的呢?我们可按下面所述的实验来进行观察探究。
Ants are communal insects, and there are thousands of ants. Among them are queens and male ants (which are a few). They are fed by a large team of worker ants. There are soldiers in the worker ants. Ants have a clear division of labor and perform their duties. They communicate with each other in frequent activities—passing information. So how do ants communicate - pass information? We can follow the experiment described below to make observations.
