Asian needle ants attacking termites
This is a video (no audio) of some Asian needle ant workers (Pachycondyla chinensis) attacking some termites (Reticulitermes sp.) in a glass petri dish. These exotic ants, which are native to Asia, were collected at Oak Mountain State Park, near Birmingham, Alabama (USA). This is not a video about which species would win in a fight. It is simply a video about prey preference. Obviously, worker termites would not stand a chance against these ants, and although soldier termites might do a bit better, it is unlikely they would stand much of a chance in a dish with the ants, because defensive strategies would more likely be aimed at keeping ants out of their colony. In Asia, where it is native, the Asian needle ant’s preferred prey is a particular species of termite. That termite species has developed strategies for defending its colonies from these ants, although they are not always successful. Termites in the US would not have had time to have developed adaptations that could have helped protect them from this introduced species. On the other hand, because the Asian needle ant is an exotic species, it may act completely different here is the US. So, out of curiosity, I put various types of arthropods, both adults and immatures, into the dish with the ants. Admittedly, I was just grabbing things I could readily find in and under a rotting log (typical nesting habitat for the ants), and this endeavor was by no means scientific. However, the only arthropods that I put in the …

NatureTech : Lifepower (BBC) Part 4/4 HD
Please Subscribe To The WhyEvolutionIsTrue Youtube Channel. www.youtube.com BBC Documentary List: tinyurl.com NatureTech Episode List: tinyurl.com Broadcast (2006) Lifepower : Nature has to be efficient in the way it processes information and uses energy so when scientists began to look at nature with biomimetic eyes, it’s not surprising that they started to see entirely new visions for our future. Nature’s power stations are everywhere — in the form of leaves. They run on sunlight and their main waste product is oxygen. Now scientists have succeeded in building an artificial leaf, which could produce hydrogen — the fuel of the future — powered by nothing but sunlight. And when we park out new non-polluting cars at home or work, what will the buildings be like? For that, scientists are looking at prairie dogs and termites. In Namibia we watch scientists laboriously fill a 3 metre high termite mound with latex, then, under the burning sun, shave away a few millimetres of the mound at a time and photograph it. The end result is the first ever complete 3D model of a termite mound, and it reveals some remarkable stories of how the termites control temperature, carbon dioxide and humidity in the nest. Understanding this, there’s no reason why we can’t build our own tower blocks on the same principles. NatureTech, a multi-award-winning series, explores “biomimetics” – the science of looking to nature for answers to modern problems. Why are blossoms never dirty and can we …
