Human activity is literally causing civil war in ant colonies. Ozone impacts the chemical communication the ants use. The ozone erases the identification of worker ants when they return home, causing their colony mates to attack them as invaders. Researchers had thought decline in populations was due to pesticides This new study indicates that internal civil war in ant communities (once considered a model of cooperative communal life) is precipitated by human activity.
Please pray for the pacification of war in every form.
