看来,蚂蚁是好得出奇的领航员。蚂蚁能利用太阳位置作为辨别方向的指南,觅途回巢。它们亦可追循同类留下的化学痕迹,来辨别道路。现在,一位科学家又发现蚂蚁们可能还有另一种定向的方法——辨认树顶。
It seems that ants are surprisingly good navigators. Ants can use the sun’s position as a guide to identify the direction, find ways to return to the nest. They can also follow the same chemical traces left by others to identify the road. Now, one scientist has discovered that there may be another targeted way for ants to recognize the tree top.
