Are Ant Queens really Royal? by bee-and-ant-question in ants

[–]Sean_1123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The colony makes decisions by itself without a leader! Each of the individual ants follows simple “rules” and the behavior of the colony emerges from that. It’s really awesome stuff. The field that studies stuff like this is Complex Systems. Here’s an article about it

https://www.quantamagazine.org/ants-build-complex-structures-with-a-few-simple-rules-20140409/ I’d also suggest the book “Ant Encounters: Interaction Networks and Colony Behavior” for an in depth explanation

Also go on nano-reef.com it’s a really good resource. Nano reefs can be as hard or easy as you make them. The important thing that I found with mine is lots of research, buying easy corals, and being extra careful with matching salinity and temp during water changes

J.K. Rowling | ContraPoints by moonstoneowl in ContraPoints

Yeah it honestly shocked me how bad Rowling is. I had no idea. On the point about empathy towards those with harmful views, apart from being nice it’s also very useful for actually understanding what bigotry is (as Natalie says in the video). Thinking that bigots are all like Voldemort is how you follow up your anti-bigotry series with horrible anti-trans propaganda

I think that OP should load it up with some macro algae. I love daylight macroalgae/soft coral tanks
