Green Scene: A common type of ant breaks the rules of biology

10 September - 8 mins
Podcast Series The Pat Kenny Show

A new study shows how orangutans in Indonesia learn how to build their nests by closely watching their peers. Also scientists have discovered that a common type of ant breaks the rules of biology. Ant queens of one species can produce male offspring of a whole other species to breed armies of hybrids. All to discuss with Dr Ruth Freeman Director of Research for Society For Research Ireland in this week's Green Scene.

All with thanks to Repak.
