Walter is an Emeritus Professor of Biological Science at Florida State University, where he’s l...2022-01-1958 min

TED-Ed: Lessons Worth SharingMating frenzies, sperm hoards, and brood raids: the life of a fire ant queen | Walter R. TschinkelIn the spring, just after a heavy rainfall, male and female fire ants swarm the skies for a day of romance, known as the nuptial flight. Thousands of reproduction-capable ants take part in a mating frenzy, and for one successfully mated female, her work is only beginning. Walter R. Tschinkel details how the new queen builds a colony and protects it from neighboring ant armies. [Directed by Lisa Vertudaches, narrated by Addison Anderson, music by Phil Brookes].2020-01-1604 min
