How do ants foraging?

Although pheromone trails are not the only method ants use to communicate during foraging, it will be the focus of this study. Pheromones are chemical secreted form glands on the ventral surface of the ant's abdomen. Successful foragers, lay pheromone trails by touching the ground with their abdomen whilst returning to the nest.

Thus, pheromone trails signal the location of resources to nestmates. As one successful forager lays a pheromone trail, many ants are recruited to that resource. Consequently, pheromone trails result in the mass recruitment of foragers to a resource.

Mass recruitment is the recruitment of many individuals to an area where work is required. This leads to rapid exploitation of resources. But, to ensure that mass recruitment is effective and efficient regulatory mechanisms are required to prevent recruitment to low quality, depleted, or overcrowded resources.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
