This lets the other ants know that they can return to the nest in order to feast. Once the food runs out, the ants release a separate pheromone that lets the (a) What are subspecies? (b) How do they differ from species? How might the fragmentation affect the evolution of a large m...
A) How do Monophyletic, Paraphyletic, and Polyphyletic taxa differ? B) How do these differences affect the validity of such taxa for both evolutionary and cladistic taxonomies? Describe the symbiotic relationships between fungi with leaf-cutter ants. Briefly write each of their roles...
Fire ants do bite and sting. It certainly makes sense getting rid of these and nobody wants ants in the home. Ants can harm plants if they build their nest right under smaller plants, or under plants whose roots can’t tolerate the extra air and dry conditions of the ant nest. They ...
How do plants growing in deserts and salty environments obtain water from the soil? How do bryophytes get water? Imagine that lightning hits a tree, which causes it to fall and hit a young sapling. The young tree is now bent over towards the ground. Discuss how ...

Pigs, goats, cows, tigers, mice and even ants and other tiny insects are smart in finding themselves food and comfort and in destroying the enemies who harm them. Such beings working just for the comfort of this life are ordinary beings. That is not the real meaning of human life. Even...
A short mutant in a patch of tall plants would be shaded out. That problem isn't relevant when a human plants a patch or field with nothing but short plants. And short plants may be earlier than tall ones, or less subject to lodging (falling over) in the rain or wind. They also ...
Since they are understory plants, giving them something of a canopy to grow beneath is best. They should be planted in loose soil with aneutral pH and excellent drainage. Do not plant them deeply; instead, dig a hole that is as deep and twice as wide as the root ball. The root ball...
