Greetings everyone. This week we're diving right into the beginnings of ant warfare with a look at a great battle documented by Henry David Thoreau. We will then explore the complex interactions of two opposing armies via Frederick Lanchester's Laws of Combat. Finally, we'll see how Lanchester's Laws can be applied to ants with the help of two publications by contemporary myrmecologists Drs. Terrence McGlynn and Scott Powell. Below are links to biographies, publications, and other cool info discussed in this week's episode in addition to my contact information. Thanks for listening and as always, stay curious!
