    Ants became dominant after adaptive radiation at the beginning of the Paleogene period. By the Oligocene and Miocene, ants had come to represent 20–40% of all insects found in major fossil deposits. Of the species that lived in the Eocene epoch, around one in 10 genera survive to the present.

  3. Ant colony - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ant_colony

    Ant colonies have a complex social structure. Ants’ jobs are determined and can be changed by age. As ants grow older their jobs move them farther from the queen, or center of the colony. Younger ants work within the nest protecting the queen and young. Sometimes, a queen is not present and is replaced by egg-laying workers.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharaoh_ant

    Pharaoh ants use a positive feedback system of foraging. Each morning, scouts will search for food. When one finds it, it will immediately return to the nest. This causes several ants to follow the successful scout's trail back to the food source. Soon, a large group will be upon the food.

    Plerergates can live anywhere in the nest, but in the wild, they are found deep underground, unable to move, swollen to the size of grapes. [7] In Camponotus inflatus in Australia, repletes formed 49% (516 ants) of a colony of 1063 ants, and 46% (1835 ants) of a colony of 4019 ants. The smaller colony contained six wingless queens.

  9. Agriculture in ants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agriculture_in_ants

    The use of the term "agriculture", which may not be entirely appropriate for mutualistic relationships—particularly in cases where a colony is hosted by a plant, such as a tree, in exchange for protection and aid in its survival and growth—is well documented in the scientific literature for processes where ants create crops and directly cultivate plants or fungi.
