Ant interactions
Ant interactions are how ants communicate and cooperate within their colonies. They use chemical signals called pheromones to share information, such as indicating food sources or alerting to danger. When an ant finds food, it leaves a pheromone trail for others to follow. Ants also work together to build nests, care for their young, and defend the colony. These interactions are essential for their survival, enabling efficient foraging, resource sharing, and collective defense, making ants highly organized social insects.
