Broadly speaking, ants have two different feeding strategies. A large proportion of all species are "carnivorous," meaning that they are generalist predators feeding on other small animals or scavenging on their remains. Some, however, are "herbivorous". http://www.physorg.com/news178893395.html Biology Tue, 01 Dec 2009 12:37:42 EST news178893395 There are fewer species of ants in the northern hemisphere than in the southern hemisphere. This is the conclusion drawn by an international team of scientists that have studied 1,003 local ant assemblages on five different continents. According to the study, ant communities in the northern hemisphere may have suffered more extinctions as a result of the climate changes that occurred between 53 and 54 million years ago. http://www.physorg.com/news160817116.html Biology Wed, 06 May 2009 08:27:05 EST news160817116 Nature is full of mutually beneficial arrangements between organisms -like the relationship between flowering plants and their bee pollinators. But sometimes these blissful relationships have a dark side, as Harvard biologist Megan Frederickson describes in an article for the May issue of The American Naturalist. http://www.physorg.com/news160137299.html Biology Tue, 28 Apr 2009 11:36:03 EST news160137299 A new species of blind, subterranean, predatory ant discovered in the Amazon rainforest by University of Texas at Austin evolutionary biologist Christian Rabeling is likely a descendant of the very first ants to evolve. http://www.physorg.com/news140716045.html Biology Mon, 15 Sep 2008 16:47:25 EST news140716045
