7 ANT COLONIES in 1 ARENA (Part 2) - ANT MURDER, KIDNAPPING, & SAD NEWS

Күн бұрын

I took seven pet ant colonies and placed them into a single arena to discover if the ant colonies would band together to form a polygynous colony. The initial interaction was a bit concerning, however after my subscribers voted to keep the colonies together and follow through with the experiment, the aftermath was truly devastating! Please remember to vote at the end of the video to help me and the ant colonies out. Ant love forever! This video was shot in 4K Ultra HD resolution.

I agree with the people saying the first colony had an advantage. Colony #1 walked in alone and already got to the food by the time #2 came, and the very first interaction #2 had outside of their tube was touching a foreign ant. Every other colony afterward could probably smell the other tubes of ants instantly

@Darkness5423 11 ай бұрын

That's what i noticed, #1 had way too much time to mark the sterile biome as their territory. The other colonies got added too late so they more than likely thought the area they found was owned by #1 for a long time. Seeing as how most of them didn't leave their nests at all on video.

I don’t know if it’s possible for ants to feel emotional but the way the 8th queen was standing over the bodies of her children was honestly kind of sad. It was like she was mourning them, her antennas were drooping over them like she was in disbelief that they were gone like that. I’m new to the insect world so I don’t know much about ants but it’s surprising that she seemed emotional in that moment, very human emotions.

@RandomInternetStranger 2 жыл бұрын

I agree with what you said completely. Now, to try and answer your question with my (very limited) knowledge on ants: I doubt that if let into another nuptial flight, she will mate again. Just a theory, but maybe queens that don't successfully mate, as in never engage in the act with the male of the species, keep their wings to re-join in the next nuptial flight. My guess is that this queen did mate, but it was unsuccessful in some manner and she didn't know because there is no way to know, hence her ripping her wings off and laying eggs. I don't know enough about ants to further my theory, but it seems sound, as many in the original batch never ripped off their wings.

I know I am a bit late to the party, but I think you did pull the plug on the experiment prematurely. All the casualties being from one colony while multiple colonies were engaging in hostilities against it might have indicated that this colony 8 - just like colony 7 you mentioned previously - was from a different species. So while removing this victimised colony from the experiment while it could still recover was the right call, you should've kept the others together for a bit longer. Maybe this would give the Queen 5 a chance at surviving.

@emeralddetailing Жыл бұрын

I feel it would've been smarter to block off the test tubes before continuing the experiment, so you can keep an eye on them when they're out. I thought this was why you had the arena bare in the first place. I was surprised on your decision to leave them overnight. Keeping an eye on them would've helped the educational part a whole lot as well, because now we don't know what happened. We can just assume what's happened from the aftermath. It looks like most of the colonies targeted that single colony. And you don't know if the others showed any aggression. This could've very well been clarified through observing, as stated before. I wish you could've continued the experiment and kept a closer eye on them, but I can't complain, as there's no way I'd pressure someone into risking animals' lives for my own knowledge. Not everything is as important as life and death.

@jonathoncheatle6814 2 жыл бұрын

From watching these last two videos I think 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 all might be the same species. They actually might be polygynous. With 8 being the only one raided and losing eggs and workers from 3 others, without any other violence among the rest. I think you should get them tested to see what species you actually have. You might be able to create that massive colony.

Each tube had their own half a carcass. Yet only tube 8 was raided. I feel like something was missed in his realizations the next morning. Tube 8 definitely deserved to be taken out and nursed back to health. However, I really think there was more behind the rest; and another day of observations may had really gone the distance.

@stevegotham Жыл бұрын

I think your experimental design was also flawed. You should of attached all the tubes simultaneously. The first tube had an advantage and released pheromones that the tubes detected, thus they did not leave their tubes as quickly. Tube 1 was allowed to essentially claim the territory. It might have been different if they all had the same initial exposure to the arena. Likely would still result in deaths, but it would be an interesting long term experiment to flesh out your hypothesis.

@stevegotham Жыл бұрын

@The 143 Pacer You know much more than me. I just have a master's degree in Biology so I know experimental design is very important. If you formulate your hypothesis, it needs to be exact. You have to make sure everything is the same between the control and the treatment groups, all other variables have to be exactly the same. It is really tricky in biology, but not following this can lead to false conclusions. If you are testing if these groups will somewhat coexist, they have to exposed to the variables simultaneously. Starting with releasing one colony gives that colony an advantage. I like your ant experiments and I encourage them. If it may seem cruel, you need to follow a strict regimen to test your hypothesis. Furthermore, I encourage that you write about your scientific findings to an open source publisher like plus one, you can try higher for peer review, but not likely without being accredited. There are not a lot of ant labs, you have a good set up. I would also recommend going to conferences like the entomological society of America. They will appreciate your work I think.

Honestly, I think even if they were to merge and create a massive colony there would be some dead workers at the beginning. They need to know each other, test their "strenght" before merging. Also they were all new, small colonies, hungry and feeling the smell of colony #1 everywhere. Their best option was to raid a weak colony. Also someone suggested #8 might be a different species, that might be what lead to it being raided

@that1geekychick 2 жыл бұрын

The offspring are all male because that's how ant genetics work out. Males have one set of chromosomes, while females have two. This queen never found a mate to pass on its genetic material and provide the second set of chromosomes needed for female offspring, so she can only make haploid males. A change in environmental conditions unfortunately isn't going to fix that.

@aaronsanchez4970 2 жыл бұрын

Yea I agree the other colonies are more likely to start a war so if you protect the 8th colony of workers. Make them mass in numbers and thrive with work. Then at the same time make the other tubes smaller every day to push the other colonies closer and see what happens. Rather than let nature take it’s course and allow the more dominante races kill other colonies, I think you should step in and separate the colonies and make them aware that you are there, forcing them to live with each other. Then re introduce the 8th colony with the big mansion full of working ants to the other groups who have been forced to live together and watch them figure something out. This is the only way you can make them all work with each other and maybe overthrow the big colony.

I kept her in a test tube with a metal screen blocking the entrance and placed it in the colony's outworld for 2 weeks. But when I released her she roamed around for a few hours, it was during the night, and when I woke up she had been killed. Is there general time limit for them to acclimate to the scent?

PS: re the unmated female, it would be interesting to see if there is a change in behaviour if you keep putting food into their home. Except for when you need to change their water supply, so (I assume) you will "encourage" them to go into an identical, clean tube, they're unlikely to ever need a larger home than the one you've given them (perhaps the larger Ants Canada test tube to give them room to stretch their wings? There - got a plug in for your store!). But hunger might compel the queen and the males to actively get the food you'd supply in their tube. Whether that would encourage them to share is unlikely (though maybe not impossible? Evolution has occurred in part by selection due to behavioural adaptation as well as natural selection on physical grounds, after all). If they could keep themselves alive this way, they might live until the next nuptial flight. It would be great to see if the queen could at least fulfill her destiny.

I feel like the experiement could have worked, if it was done on a much smaller scale. 7 newly forming colonies in such a tiny space, during their most vulnerable time of development... it would have been a huge cross over of unfamiliar scents and might have created a hostile environment just from the conflicting signatures alone. The feeling of 'it's not safe' and '1 food source' to compete over. But, with that worker from colony 1 that they had taken to the queen in 3... They didn't kill her. Those two colonies (alone) might have been able to mix under supervision, since there wasn't outright hostility, and via that, they had the most exposure to each other. I think with most animals, it's better to start small and slow, not big and rushed.

It's sad, but she just wouldn't have a good quality of life.
