  6. Kinda interesting.... http://www.impactlab.com/2009/04/18/rare-all-female-ant-society-that-reproduces-by-cloning-discovered/ April 18th, 2009 at 9:41 am Rare All-Female Ant Society That Reproduces By Cloning Discovered in: Insects, New Discoveries, Science & Technology News Mycocepurus smithii A group of Amazonian ants have evolved an extremely unusual social system: They are all female and reproduce via cloning. Though their sexual organs have virtually disappeared, they have also gained some extraordinary abilities. University of Arizona biologist Anna Himler orginally began studying the ants, called Mycocepurus smithii, because they had incredible success as farmers. Many breeds of ant keep domesticated “farms” where they breed various kinds of fungus for nourishment. But Mycocepurus smithii was able to breed fungus far more successfully, and in greater varieties, than other ants Himler had encountered. As she and her team studied the insects, they realized there were no male ants anywhere to be found. Himler told the BBC that it’s possible the ants evolved so as “not to operate under the usual constraints of sexual reproduction.” Interestingly, the fungi that the ants cultivate also reproduce asexually. But why would these ants choose to emulate the reproductive cycle favored by their crops? Himler explains: “It avoids the energetic cost of producing males, and doubles the number of reproductive females produced each generation from 50% to 100% of the offspring.” All the members of the colony are clones of the queen. While that means the queen can control every aspect of the population, it also makes the colony vulnerable to pandemics. A virus that can kill one ant can kill all of them, since they all have the exact same immune systems. On the other hand, it seems that a lack of men gave these women more time and energy to cultivate some of the most elaborate forms of ant agriculture ever studied. According to Himler, ants often evolve highly unusual reproductive strategies. But all-female ant societies are highly rare.
  7. drugs, hookers, gambling, etc
  8. My point is that this thread was about her buying plastics and you shit yourself. +1 for ignoring each other if you don't get along. I wasn't saying something about it because i expect to get anything out of it but this is at least the second thread where you're a dick out of nowhere (aka bullying). Ya, I've never met you and you could be a cool guy, I just didn't see the point in making comments like you have numerous times. I've never said anything about it in the past because I figured it was a one time thing and maybe I was missing something. Anyway, that's all I've got to say, I'm sure everyone gets the point. I'm not trying to be a dick back at you or anything. Back on topic.....
  9. :???: who's got their banana hammock in a wad? maybe everyone in this thread is missing something but I don't see what she did wrong. I think what everyone's tryin to say is that you're bein a dick for no reason. If she wants to buy track plastics, she can do it. It's not my money, not your money, not anyone else's money, it doesn't really matter and it's not a big deal. And as far as her skillzzzz on the track, it was her first time and that's kinda the point of track days...to learn. Not seein a problem here. So....maybe we're all still missing something but I don't know why your banana hammock is in a wad.
  10. sexy bike, though based on IP's comment, it is not actually your current ride
