I'm not really looking for reasons to wipe out colonies, I'm thinking about reasons for introducing them.
For example, can they be beneficial in reversing desertification? Do they help plants by somehow bringing them nutrients?
I'm very curious as I'm certain they have huge benefits, I'm just not sure exactly what they are ...
- danparsonson 6y agoTry thinking about it more holistically. It's not so much that ants on their own are great for a specific purpose, but rather that they work together with other parts of the ecosystem to make the whole thing work. If you're so inclined, maybe it's useful to think about neural networks; take a face-recognition network, pick any node, then ask 'what is this good for?'.
