A weekly programme about work in the world of science
CO-OPERATIVE ANIMALS
1: Ants by John Sudd , Ph.D.
Lecturer in Entomology, University of Hull
Ants that have found food can direct their nest-mates to it by various means. When groups of ants move large pieces of prey, new problems of communication arise: these are solved, not by prior ' direction,' but in an ' empirical ' way, from moment to moment.
First of two talks on examples of cooperation in nature.
