Understanding Ant Lifespan and Colony Dynamics in a Changing Environment

This discussion explores the interrelated factors of ant lifespan, colony size, and their reproductive behaviors, particularly focusing on non-working ants. As colonies grow stagnant, their ability to adapt to changing conditions diminishes. With an example of a colony comprising 10,000 ants and an average age of 5 years, insights into their life cycle reveal crucial implications for their survival. Deborah Gordon shares her research at TED, shedding light on these fascinating social insects. [Watch the TED Talk here](http://www.ted.com/talks/view/id/145).
