Aʻo nā ʻepekema ʻōpio i ke ʻano o ka hana ʻana o nā ʻona ma ke ʻano he kaiāulu a he aloha kekahi i kekahi, e kamaʻilio me ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā leo kani i kapa ʻia ʻo stridulation. He kani kēia ma ka hamo ʻana i ʻelua ʻāpana o ko lākou ʻōpū. Hoʻohana lākou i kēia e kamaʻilio me nā poʻe ʻē aʻe i kahi o nā lau maikaʻi loa ma ka mea kanu a inā pilikia lākou.
No ke aha i holo ai nā ʻanoanu i kekahi i kekahi?
I ka hui ʻana o nā popo, hoʻopā māmā lākou i kā lākou antennae, e hoʻololi i ka ʻike. Ua ʻike ka poʻe ʻepekema ʻoi aku ka nui o kēia mau pilina ma loko o kahi pūʻulu hana ma mua o nā mea ʻē aʻe. ʻIke ʻia, kamaʻilio nui ka ant me kona mau hoalauna.
Pehea ke kamaʻilio ʻana o nā ʻenekini me kekahi?
Hoʻohana nā ʻanuʻu i nā leo e kamaʻilio. Hiki i nā holoholona pupated ke hoʻopuka i nā hōʻailona acoustic, no ka mea ua hiki i nā mea noiʻi ke hōʻoia no ka manawa mua. ʻAʻole ʻike ʻia ʻo ka ans he kamaʻilio nui. Lawe lākou i kahi hapa nui o kā lākou kamaʻilio ʻana ma o nā mea kemika, nā mea i kapa ʻia he pheromones.
No ke aha e hoʻopā ai nā ʻākena?
He pilina pili like ko ka lice a me ka popo. Hoʻokaʻawale nā ʻenemi i nā ʻenemi a loaʻa iā lākou ka honeydew. Ma waho aʻe o ka pale ʻana, pōmaikaʻi ka aphid mai ka ant no ka mea ʻaʻole e hōʻiliʻili ka ʻōpala paʻa.
No ke aha e lawe ai ka ʻanat?
ʻO ke ʻano o ka lawe ʻana a me ka halihali ʻana he ʻano hana e kiʻi ai i nā hoa pūnana makua i loko o nā popo. Ke “koi” ka holoholona ʻimi e hopu i nā ʻāʻī o ka hoa pūnana a i ʻole nā ʻāpana kino ʻē aʻe me kona mau iwi a lawe aku i kahi e hele ai, no ka laʻana, he pūnana hou.
No ke aha e hakaka ai nā ʻanona?
Hiki i kekahi mau ʻona ke hoʻomāinoino loa i ka wā e hiki mai ana i kā lākou manawa hānau. Ua ʻike mua nā kāne o kahi ʻano ʻano pākīpika i ka hoʻokūkū e hiki mai ana i ka pae pupal. Wahi a kekahi noiʻi ʻana, i ka wā e paʻa ai lākou, ua nahu ʻia lākou a make a hoʻopaʻa inoa ʻia paha.
He aha nā ʻenemi o nā ʻanuʻu?
ʻO ka mea hope akā ʻaʻole ka mea liʻiliʻi loa, ʻo nā ʻanuʻu ka meaʻai no nā holoholona ululāʻau ʻē aʻe: ʻo nā ʻanuʻu ka meaʻai na nā manu, nā moʻo, nā toads, nā nahesa liʻiliʻi, a me nā spider. Akā, ʻo ka ʻenemi maoli o ka ʻanuʻu lāʻau ʻulaʻula, ʻo ia ke kanaka, e luku ana i ko lākou wahi noho a me ko lākou pūnana.
No ke aha e holo ai nā ʻōpena ma hope o kekahi?
Hōʻailona ʻia nā ala ʻanuʻu e nā mea ʻala (pheromones). Ke ʻike ka ʻenekani i kahi kumu meaʻai, hoʻi ʻo ia i ka puʻu anthill, e hoʻopuka ana i kahi ala ala ma ke ala. I ka hōʻea ʻana i ka pūnana ant, hoʻihoʻi ʻo ia i kahi ʻāpana o ka meaʻai a hāʻawi ʻia i nā ʻano ʻē aʻe.
He aha ka ʻōlelo a ka ʻanat?
Ke kamaʻilio nui nei nā ʻanuʻu ma o nā mea ʻala, i kapa ʻia he pheromones.
Hiki i ka ʻenekane ke lohe?
ʻAʻohe pepeiao a me ka lohe ʻana o ka spider a me nā popo e like me ke kanaka. Eia naʻe, ʻike lākou i nā kani. Manaʻo ʻoe i nā nalu kani me nā lauoho ʻike maikaʻi ma kou kino.
He ʻōlelo ko nā ʻenekona?
ʻAʻole kamaʻāina ʻo Ants i ka ʻōlelo a me nā leo a ua hoʻomohala i kā lākou ʻōnaehana kamaʻilio ponoʻī i kūpono loa i ko lākou ʻano o ke ola. Kūkākūkā lākou no ka hapa nui ma o nā mea ʻala, i kapa ʻia he pheromones.
No ke aha i hahai ai kekahi i kekahi ma ka laina?
ʻO ke kumu o ka hele ʻana o nā ʻanuʻu i kahi laina e hoʻoheheʻe ʻia i nā kemika ʻala i kapa ʻia he pheromones. Hoʻohana nā ʻanuʻu i nā pheromones e kamaʻilio pū me nā ʻanuʻu ʻē aʻe. E hoʻopuka nā ʻanuʻu i nā pheromones e aʻo aku i nā ʻona ʻē aʻe e pili ana i kahi mea ʻaihue kokoke, e haʻi i nā ʻano ʻē aʻe e kōkua i ka pale ʻana i ka kolone, a i ʻole e kaʻana like i kahi o kahi kumu meaʻai.
He aha ka ʻōlelo a nā ʻano i kekahi i kekahi?
A me ke kamaʻilio ʻana ma o nā pheromones, kani, a me ka hoʻopā ʻana, kamaʻilio pū kekahi me kekahi ma ka hoʻololi ʻana i ka wai waha-a-waha ma kahi kaʻina i kapa ʻia ʻo trophallaxis.
No ke aha e hoʻopā ai kekahi i kekahi ke hele kekahi i kekahi?
ʻO ka nele o ka ʻike maikaʻi e lilo ai ka pilina kino i mea nui o ko lākou ola i mea e kamaʻilio ai a hoʻopau i nā hoʻoweliweli i ko lākou mau kolone. ʻO ia kekahi manaʻo e pili ana i ke kumu e hoʻopā ai nā ʻūlū i kēlā me kēia ant e hele mai ana mai kēlā ʻaoʻao.
No ke aha la e honi ai na popo ke hui lakou?
ʻO ia ke kamaʻilio. E kamaʻilio pili pili. Ua ʻike ka poʻe noiʻi e hele ana nā ʻanuʻu i nā hōʻailona kemika me kā lākou mau hoa pūnana ma ke kaʻana ʻana i ka kohu.
No ke aha ʻoe e ʻoki ʻole ai i nā ʻōpala?
ʻAʻole ʻōlelo ʻia ʻaʻole e ʻokiʻoki i nā ʻupena, ʻo ka hana ʻana pēlā e hoʻokuʻu wale ai i nā pheromones a e hoʻoulu hou i nā ʻanuʻu e hele mai i kahi a hoʻopilikia hou iā ʻoe a me kou ʻohana. Ua ʻike ʻia nā ʻanuʻu i kahi nahu make e hoʻoulu ai i ka ʻeha nui no ka manawa pōkole.
