打混的螞蟻，騙人的馬豬

【Comment】

螞蟻打混的話，蜜蜂與日本人可能也好不到哪裡去。

至於馬與豬會騙台灣人，不在話下了！

螞蟻都是非常認真工作的?! 不~○網頁新知(2015.10.10)

螞蟻都是非常認真工作的?! 不~帶你來看實際情況 .科學家揭露原來都是假象...

大多數的螞蟻都很辛勤的在工作 ???

以下由科學家顛覆一般人以為工蟻認真工作的形象...

科學家用錄影機觀察了五個蟻群之後，得到以下的結果

3% 的工蟻非常認真工作

25% 的工蟻從頭到尾都在打混

72% 的工蟻則是至少有一半的時間在打混

簡單來說，根本就只有少數的工蟻會做到過勞死而已啊!!!
而其他的工蟻，根本就很混!!!

這完全推翻了大家對於螞蟻非常認真工作的印象啊!!!

Most worker ants are slackers○SCIENCE(2015.10.06)

Ants and bees have reputations as efficient team players.  InTemnothorax rugatulus—a small brown ant found in pine forests in North America—division of labor is common, with workers specializing in tasks like foraging, building, and brood care.  But new research shows that many ants in a colony seem to specialize in doing nothing at all.  To get a closer look at how these ants filled their time, researchers marked every member of five lab-based colonies with dots of colored paint.  Over the course of 2 weeks, a high-definition camera recorded 5-minute segments of the ants in action six times a day, capturing their behavior (or lack thereof).  Out of the “workers,” 71.9% were inactive at least half the time, and 25.1% were never seen working.  A small fraction of the ants, just 2.6%, were always active during observation, the researchers wrote last month in Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology.  Previous studies have postulated that inactivity might be temporary, with ants working in shifts dictated by circadian rhythm.  But the new results show that the lazy workers stay lazy no matter the time of day.  According to the team, this suggests that inactivity isn’t merely a break between tasks, but might be an important part of the ants’ division of labor.  Just what part remains unclear, but one theory is that the inactive ants are either too young or too old to work.  Future studies over longer periods of time could capture the ants switching between busy and lazy modes.
