The queen has a very good memory

According to a group of Danish researchers at the University of Copenhagen, the ant ants of some ants have a very good memory . The study was done at a cocoa plantation in southern Salvador (Brazil) by Biology Professor Patrizia D'Ettorre and colleagues from the University of Copenhagen.

According to Professor D'Ettore, the queen of two different Pachycondyla ants in Brazil has the ability to identify the ants of other ant groups.

These queen ants work together to form a new ant group. Initially, they fought to form a hierarchy. Once they know each other, they interact with each other in a favorable way, each of them works separately. The ants take care of the nest and hatch the eggs, while the worker ants go out to find food. The newly formed group will scare off any queen ant who wants to join them and identify it as a stranger.

The team of researchers at the University of Copenhagen has for the first time demonstrated the transcendental ability of queen ants in identifying other ants thanks to long-term memory. Two queen ants interact with each other for 24 hours, then leave each other for the next 24 hours. They can be completely identified after a long time without depending on whether they interact with other ants.

Like humans, ants with small brains can identify their friends after a long time apart.
