摘要

基于已知的桃金娘(Myrmica sabuleti)的数数能力,研究人员检查了这个物种的工蚁是否能通过条件反射将一个符号与一些元素联系起来,这种能力在无脊椎动物中很少遇到,在蚂蚁中从未提到过。每次在两个蚁群上工作,我们观察到这些蚂蚁可以将一个特定的形状与1、2、3或4个显示的点联系起来。这种获得的联系只受到叹息元素的形状、颜色或大小变化的轻微影响。蚂蚁也在蜜蜂身上观察到这种符号与数字的基本联系,而鸟类和猴子等脊椎动物可以将这种能力提升到更复杂的水平。

Ants Can Associate a Symbol with a Number of Elements Through Conditioning
On the basis of the known numerosity abilities of the ant Myrmica sabuleti, it was checked if workers of this species could associate a symbol with a number of elements through conditioning, an ability rarely encountered in invertebrates and never mentioned in ants. Working each time on two colonies, we observed that these ants could associate a particular shape used as a symbol with 1, 2, 3 or 4 displayed dots. This acquired association was only slightly affected by a change in shape, color or size of the sighed elements. This elementary association of a symbol with a number by an ant has also been observed in bees, while vertebrates such as birds and monkeys can bring this ability at a more complex level.
