Reinliche Insekten: Ameisen benutzen Toiletten

Forscher weisen "sanitäre Anlagen" im Nest nach

(PresseBox) (Regensburg, )
Was machen Ameisen, wenn die Natur ruft? Wo verrichten sie ihr Geschäft? Wissenschaftler vom Institut für Zoologie der Universität Regensburg sind diesen Fragen nachgegangen. Mit einem erstaunlichen Ergebnis: Die Forscher konnten zeigen, dass Ameisen in ihrem Nest Toiletten benutzen. Dazu fütterten sie Ameisen mit gefärbtem Zuckerwasser. Entsprechend verfärbten sich danach einzelne Stellen im Nest. Die Positionen dieser "sanitären Anlagen" folgen zudem einem Muster. Fast alle Ameisen verlegten ihre Toiletten in Eckpunkte des jeweiligen Nests. Die Ergebnisse der Studie werden in der nächsten Woche in der renommierten Fachzeitschrift "PLOS ONE" erscheinen.
