Be inspired to save our planet from these ants


Hello Everybody!Nice to meet you all again.Today I am going to tell about hardworking ants who work very hard and also help in healing the nature. Here I will also share some extra information from THE TIMES OF INDIA.

 ‘Ants are amazing scientific and social beings — we humans need them'

Why are ants called scientific marvels?

There are so many scientific facts about ants. For Example:- almost every ant without wings is a female. These female ants do all the work in ant colonies-they gather food, dig tunnels to expand nests and even fight battles.. Males have wings and their only role is reproduction. In fact, males die shortly after mating, while the new queens fly off to start a new colony. Ants are also incredibly strong- some species can carry 100 times their own body weight.  Imagine what we could accomplish with that strength.

What are some vital environmental roles ants perform?

Ants are ecosystem engineers, which means that they can create and modify their habitats. Think of the complex three-dimensional fortress. they build below the ground to live in. Through this process, they also aerate the soil-essential for soil health and crop production. In fact, ants likely turn more soil than earthworms. In addition, they participate in decomposition and disperse seeds of plants. Many species of plants rely only on ants to disperse their seeds. Without ants, the world would not be a very great place to live. 

How do ant groups apply symbiosis to their world?

Ants are very interesting also because they engage in symbiotic relationships across the tree of life-they fulfill  protective symbiotic relationships with  several sap-feeding insects and plants.

These insects and plants provide food to ants - in return of which ants protect them from enemies and parasites. Some ant species even farm fungus to eat and many have gut bacteria that helps them process their food.One reasons that ants are so successful is due to these symbiotic interactions.
FACT: Scientists have found that some ant species are 140 million years old.

Do ants have distinctive personalities?

With over 15000 ant species, there are so many diverse ways ans behave. Some are predatory and actively hunt, others are herbivores or vegetarians and never leave their host plant. Even inside a single colony, there is a variation in how individuals behave.

Note: So, here we derive the idea of human resource development where diversity is needed to get variety of thoughts which help in development of brain, mind,  and society. 

Ants are fascinating social animals to study. There is so much to learn about them! If students are looking for a fun career, they can be highly recommended myrmecology - the study of ants.


Are phenomena like climate change impacting ant populations? How can ordinary people help protect them?

Unfortunately both climatic change and habitat loss are impacting ants and many other animals, plants, fungi, and microbes. Most species of ants have very large distributions, so when habitats are converted for human use or when temperature or precipitation rate changes, many species are negatively impacted or even lost to extinction.

Humans can help them by preserving native habitats by preserving native habitats and championing wildlife and conservation. 
It is our job to be the stewards of nature and all the beautiful organisms on our planet.

SO, BE INSPIRED BY THESE ANTS, DO WORK HARD  LIKE THESE SMALL BEINGS AND KEEP CONSERVING EARTH.

HEREBY, WE UNDERSTAND THE NEED TO WORK ALL TOGETHER AS A TEAM TO GET SUCCESS AND THAT IS HOW WE NEED TO HELP THIS EARTH
