Philidris Nagasau
''Philidris nagasau'' is a species of ant in the genus ''Philidris''. Described by William M. Mann in 1921, the species is endemic to Fiji. ''Philidris nagasau'' makes its living by planting seeds of epiphytes such as ''Squamellaria'' in the bark of host trees and tending them like a garden. Their planting habits share a remarkable similarity to that of humans. They are able to identify the seeds of their preferred plant, plant these seeds, guard their plots from potential predators, and finally use their own feces to fertilize the young seedling. There is also evidence that these ants lost their ability to nest before ''Squamellaria'' developed domatia A domatium (plural: domatia, from the Latin "domus", meaning home) is a tiny chamber that houses arthropods, produced by a plant. Ideally domatia differ from galls in that they are produced by the plant rather than being induced by their inhabi ... for these ants to reside. This suggests that ''P. nagasau'' selectively breed ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
