David Young was abandoned and institutionalized as a child. He suffered from a cleft palate and hyperactivity disorder. He overcame these challenges to teach himself how to read and write, macrophotography, myrmecology and computers. These are a few of his photos. He will soon have a book and CD of his work available at stores.lulu.com/sackterhouse.

I'm Penelope Bognetti (pronounced "bone" followed directly by "yetti") and this is my first video documenting my Antworks Ant Farm. I consider myself to be an amateur myrmecologist- one who studies ants. I'm fascinated by their intelligence and dependence upon one another and I think we all have much to learn from them. I apologize for the poor editing. This is my first attempt to make a You Tube and I hope to learn more as I post more videos.

Science Fiction: Ants evolved from wasp-like ancestors in the mid-Cretaceous period between 110 and 130 million years ago and diversified after the rise of flowering plants. Real Science: In science and technology See also: Myrmecology, Biomimetics, and Ant colony optimisation Myrmecologists study ants in the laboratory and in their natural conditions. Their complex and variable social structures have made ants ideal model organisms. Ultraviolet vision was first discovered in ants by Sir John Lubbock in 1881.[148] Studies on ants have tested hypotheses in ecology, sociobiology and have been particularly important in examining the predictions of theories of kin selection and evolutionarily stable strategies.[149] Ant colonies can be studied by rearing or temporarily maintaining them in formicaria, specially constructed glass framed enclosures.[150] Individuals may be tracked for study by marking them with colours.[151] The successful techniques used by ant colonies have been studied in computer science and robotics to produce distributed and fault-tolerant systems for solving problems. This area of biomimetics has led to studies of ant locomotion, search engines that make use of "foraging trails", fault-tolerant storage and networking algorithms.[8] Ant societies have division of labour, communication between individuals, and an ability to solve complex problems.[8] These parallels with human societies have long been an inspiration and subject of study.

Join us on our global online Ants and Myrmecology Facebook Group community and begin exchanging info now http The incredible story of a queen that was exhiled by her own co-queen and children and the adoption of unrelated worker ants that had been orphaned. Music in this video taken from my album 'Memoirs of a Superhero' available here www.MemoirsofaSuperhero.com or iTunes NOTE This story is not to encourage ant keepers to begin introducing additional queens to their colony. One must remember that this story worked out because 1) The workers were nantics, meaning they were first generation ants, 2) the nantics were orphaned having lost both their queens, and 3) the queen (ie Momma Outcast) had lost her first nantics, her first generation of workers. I learned the hard way that Formica fusca are not truly polygynous. Introduce at your own risk!

The Darwinian revolution began in a new understanding of how species change through time by means of natural selection, and affirms that each species, including our own, is genetically adapted in exquisite detail for life in a particular environment. The studies of adaptation through time and the diversity of the millions of other species are the core of evolutionary biology. Functional biology, including medical research, will do well to incorporate the study of biodiversity and the process of evolution that has created it. Edward Osborne Wilson is an American biologist, researcher (sociobiology, biodiversity), theorist (consilience, biophilia), naturalist (conservationist) and author. His biological specialty is myrmecology, the study of ants. Wilson is a two-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize for General Non-Fiction. He is known for his career as a scientist, his advocacy for environmentalism, and his secular-humanist and deist ideas pertaining to religious and ethical matters. As of 2007, he is Pellegrino University Research Professor in Entomology for the Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University and a Fellow of the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry. He is a Humanist Laureate of the International Academy of Humanism.

In two sites in the Brazilian rain forest, researchers identified four new species of brain-controlling fungal parasites. These fungi infect carpenter ants and turn them into zombies, directing them to leave their colonies and die in places where the fungi can grow and spread. The zombifying fungus can be seen growing from the dead ants Image Credit: David P Hughes Music: Malaguena Salerosa

Depicts ants as social creatures living in complex societies. Shows ways they control their environment. Ken Smith sez: This is probably the most genuinely entertaining of all the John Kieran's Kaleidoscope films. The poor ants are anthropomorphised to the nth degree; we even hear The Wedding March when the queen and her drone fly away from the nest. Kieran's patter has never been more meandering; he sounds like a befuddled uncle narrating home movies. Clumsy but enjoyable.

Visit www.AntsCanada.com This is what eventually happens when a growing colony moves into a formicarium that is very spacious and they use some of the rooms for garbage. When the colony grows into the space, they move all their garbage outside of the nest so the colony can live comfortably away from the colony's garbage as well as make use of the rooms.

The great move continues, at this point they have begun to move brood into the new nest fairly quickly. I apologize for the lighting, it's dark and I have sleeping critters that I don't want to disturb. When I am looking at the corner of the container, I am trying to show the tunnel the ants have been painstakingly working on. If they don't hurry, the hydrostone will harden completely and they will not be able to make any more progress. When I look into the bottle and the mass of ants shortly afterward, I am showing the piles of their dead. Why there are so many, I do not know, but it worries me.

Wow I come off as a total pervert toward the end of this. But it's all in good fun despite not sounding very scientific. But hay that's nature. Prenolepis imparis, The Winter Ant, holds it's nuptial flights sooner than most other species in North America, with the exception of a few ants in the south west and tropical regions.
