蚂蚁作为流体：物理学启发的生物学
Ants as Fluids: Physics-Inspired Biology
摘要：
火蚁用爪子抓住不同的表面，包括彼此。由于它们相互粘附和数量庞大，蚁群像无生命的流体一样流动。在这一系列的电影中，我们展示了蚂蚁的行为类似于液滴的传播，毛细血管的上升，以及重力驱动的流动。通过模仿液体的流动，蚁群可以在压力条件下保持团结。
英文摘要：
Fire ants use their claws to grip diverse surfaces, including each other. As a result of their mutual adhesion and large numbers, ant colonies flow like inanimate fluids. In this sequence of films, we demonstrate how ants behave similarly to the spreading of drops, the capillary rise of menisci, and gravity-driven flow down a wall. By emulating the flow of fluids, ant colonies can remain united under stressful conditions.
