War in ants

For some species of ants, this is even a deliberately undertaken strategy, as they require capturing 227:, there are regularly 10,000 casualties per day during the spring. For these ants, the war ends either when the opposing colony is destroyed or when the available prey is sufficient again for the needs of the colonies, which have then lost thousands of members. Estimates from 2016 on certain ant species show a loss of about a third of the total colony population in case of victory. 2472: 150:. The emergence of supercolonies from the 19th century, facilitated by human movements, has certainly reinforced these behaviors in the affected ants. It also seems to depend on the context in which the ants find themselves. For instance, within the same species, a colony facing external threats from another ant colony can produce up to twice as many soldier 171:
In general, there are two main ways ants conduct these conflicts. On the one hand, some species use specific ants that are more powerful and whose primary function is to fight. On the other hand, colonies increase the number of available fighters and send large numbers of individuals into battle. In
238:, but the victorious colony often adopts the surviving ants of the losing colony, likely a way to avoid and mitigate the significant resource loss due to the war effort. In a few rare cases, the queen of the losing colony is herself adopted by the victorious colony, and the two merge. 186:, with the respective groups withdrawing at nightfall only to return the next day to the same locations to resume the battle. The bodies of dead or injured ants are then brought back to the colony, where they are eaten. In other species, such as within the genus 129:, it is a matter of territory covered and thus the available food for the different colonies. It can also be related to issues of overpopulation of the same species in the same area at certain times of the year. In other cases, some species aim to capture the 141:
It is difficult to assess the prevalence of this type of behavior in ants, given the significant diversity of species, behaviors, and different situations. Some species undergo specific evolutions with the sole purpose of engaging in these conflicts, such as

from other species to ensure the continuity of their colony. Thus, there are specific biological evolutions in certain species intended to give them an advantage in such conflicts. In some of these confrontations, ants can adopt

They also regularly sacrifice workers, whose role is to try to hinder, injure, and attack enemy majors, before their own majors join the battlefield and can intervene. 250:, which follows human expansion into new areas, groups of dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of colonies engage in large-scale conflicts against other species. For example, around 3395: 68:. In the early 21st century, with the rapid spread of many species into new habitats facilitated by human colonization, significant wars are being waged between different 223:, to the detriment of forming workers, for example. These wars can result in the death of tens of thousands of individuals within a few hours; for wood ants of the genus 53:, even governed by certain implicit rules, for example by organizing duels between the most important ants of each colony or choosing a specific location for a battle. 554: 3177: 3075: 460: 578: 56:
