Direct Evidence for Cannibalistic Necrophagy as a Way of Nitrogen Recycling in Ants. [PDF]
Adequate nitrogen sources are essential for the development and reproduction of most animals. In eusocial insects such as termites and ants, some observations suggest that the protein needs of growing larvae may be met by consuming the corpses of nestmates—a behavior that remains controversial in ants and is primarily supported by indirect evidence ...
