This queen produces male clones of another species.

Iberian harvester ant colonies may look ordinary with queens, workers and males.

But to keep it all ticking, the queen needs sperm from a different species, Mesostructor.

After mating, the alien sperm is stored inside her body.

When producing male clones, the sperm enters one of her eggs, but she removes her genes from the mix.

She can also mix genes from both species, producing sterile female workers.

And to ensure the survival of her genetic line and the future of the colony,

she can use stored sperm from her own kind to produce new queens.

This strategy of having two genetic lines is crucial to this ant's survival.

One line produces Iberian harvester queens and males.

The other produces hybrid workers that forage, build and defend the nest, as well as male mesostructa ant clones as mates for future queens.

By maintaining an in -nest supply of cloned males, future queens no longer need to count on finding this species in the wild.

New colonies can spread into new territories, boldly going wherever they can survive.

All this makes them one of the most complex and weird forms of colonial life we know.

什么是跟读法？

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
