Ants can be influenced by inundatio

Ants can be influenced by inundation in a number of different ways. This behaviour
is reflected in the way they avoid drowning. For example, the annual inundation
of the Amazon region (Adis, 1984; Majer and Delabie, 1994) leaves the forest
floor flooded for 5–6 months. The only way ants can survive these conditions is to
move their nests up in the trees. Adis (1982) reports that leaf-cutting ants of the
genus Acromyrmex can swim or “walk” on the water surface during foraging in the
flooded periods. This resembles the swimming behaviour observed for Polyrhachis
sokolova when they returned to the nest at incoming tide in the present study.

Miere kan beïnvloed word deur oorstroming in 'n aantal verskillende maniere. Hierdie gedrag
word weerspieël in die manier waarop hulle Vermy verdrink. Byvoorbeeld, die jaarlikse Oorstroming
van die Amazon Streek (Adis, 1984; Majer en Delabie, 1994) laat die Bos
Oorstroom vloer vir 5-6 maande. Die enigste manier Miere kan oorleef hierdie toestande is om
in die bome Beweeg hul neste. Adis (1982) berig dat Leaf-sny miere van die
genus Acromyrmex kan swem of "Walk" Water op die oppervlak tydens kos soek in die
oorstroomde tydperke. Dit lyk op die gedrag waargeneem vir swem Polyrhachis
Sokolova toe hulle teruggegaan na die gety teen Nest in die huidige studie.
