Synchronized Group Retrieval of Honeydew by Prenolepis Ants in Singapore
Abstract
Prenolepis of the Formicinae sybfamily are smallish ants that mostly inhabit soil, leaf litter, and rotten wood on the ground and appear to be generalist omnivores and often gather hemipteran exudates. This work reports on synchronized group retrieval of honeydew by Prenolepis subopaca ants in Singapore.
