Sehr viele rotbraun-schwarze Ameisen durcheinander. In der Mitte des Bildes ein runder Kern, den drei Ameisen gemeinsam bewegen. Bei einer sieht man fokussiert das Gesicht von vorn.

New research article! 📰
Chanas & Frouz analyzed 57,000+ images and temperature data from 19 nests, demonstrating how ants dynamically balance thermoregulation ☀️

While beavers 🦫 get all the credit @treesforlife.bsky.social are right that #woodants are ecosystem engineers too!
Let’s hear it for wood #ants!
Everyone (& every species) has a role to play in ecological restoration and rewilding…
#GenerationRestoration
🐜 As the days warm up, #woodants spring into action - foraging for food and repairing their nests 🍂
These tiny #ecosystemengineers play a crucial role in forest health - controlling pests, spreading seeds, and enriching the soil 🌲

Another Woodant nest alot close up, with countless ants, they're building their nest up with twigs and leaves, their nest will become a tall mound, home to thousands of ants.

A tiny triumph for rewilding! 🐜🌿
Last spring, we carefully translocated wood ants to help restore ecosystem balance on Bunloit estate. Many of you followed their journey—now, after a long winter, how have they fared?

Wood ants at Longshaw, Sheffield. It looked like they were doing some spring cleaning! #wildlifephotography #woodants #sheffieldwildlifetrust #nationaltrust
And this is a good read on the #woodants from @wildsheffield.bsky.social
