What this little wood ant is planning to do with this microchip is unkonwn, but how appropriate to say that he appears to have a scientific interest.(還不知道這只小木蟻打算用這種微芯片做什么，不過(guò)，說(shuō)它對(duì)科學(xué)感興趣是多么恰當(dāng)。)

A dove heard his cries for help and threw him a leaf, which helped the ant float back to the bank.(一只鴿子聽(tīng)到了螞蟻的呼救聲，扔給它一片樹(shù)葉，樹(shù)葉幫助螞蟻漂回了岸邊。)

Subsequent ant researchers have focused on external prompts for behavior.(后來(lái)的螞蟻研究人員把注意力集中在外部的行為提示上。)

It's possible that the cleanest and most highly evolved creatures where this topic is concerned are internal parasites, along with bee, wasp and ant larvae.(在這個(gè)話題中，最干凈、最高度進(jìn)化的生物可能是體內(nèi)寄生蟲(chóng)，以及蜜蜂、黃蜂和螞蟻幼蟲(chóng)。)

They came up with a computer model, based on the self-organising principles of an ant colony.(他們提出了一個(gè)基于蟻群自組織原則的計(jì)算機(jī)模型。)

Therefore, the planned introduction into that region of ant flies, which prey on Loma ants, would benefit public health.(因此，計(jì)劃引進(jìn)以洛馬蟻為食的蟻蠅進(jìn)入該地區(qū)將有利于公共健康。)

Ant societies existed in something like their present form more than seventy million years ago.(螞蟻社會(huì)大約在七千萬(wàn)年前就以類似現(xiàn)在的形式存在。)

When the lid of the nest box on an ant colony is raised, a whiff of dead cockroach wafts by.(當(dāng)蟻群的巢箱蓋子被揭開(kāi)時(shí)，一股死蟑螂的氣息撲面而來(lái)。)

As Gordon discovered during her research, there's no one ant making decisions or giving orders.(正如戈登在研究過(guò)程中發(fā)現(xiàn)的那樣，沒(méi)有一只螞蟻在做決定或是發(fā)號(hào)施令。)

Even more impressively, DNA analysis of the fungi suggests that the ants improve or modify the fungi by regularly swapping and sharing strains with neighbouring ant colonies.(更令人印象深刻的是，真菌的DNA分析表明，螞蟻通過(guò)與鄰近的蟻群定期交換和共享菌種來(lái)改善或修改真菌。)
