Slave
Rebellion Is Widespread in Ants Originally from “ScienceDaily”
It seems that slave ants fight a continuous battle with
those who enslaved them. This reminds of
a story in an episode of RadioLab (called “Emergence”). The thing I would point out is that the
rebellion in all likely-hood not ‘intentional’.
Remember an individual ant has an incredibly small brain, what’s
probably happening (in my opinion) is that at some point the Slaver larvae
start producing pheromones that trigger an automatic attack instinct in the
Slave nannies.
