Abstract

The article discusses research on the larger brains of the wild colonies of acacia ants. It references a study published in the "Proceedings of the Royal Society of Biological Sciences." Topics covered include the possible causes of specialized brains, the division of labor observed in larger colonies and the increase in brain regions concerned with learning and memory as the colony size increased.
