Popis: The behavior and ecology of social insects have always been one of the important directions of biological research. Ants are typical true social insects. Through the study of their social behavior, we can not only reveal the adaptability and strategy of social insects, but also provide enlightenment for the interaction between human society and nature. However, there remains a significant gap in understanding the complex interactions and underlying mechanisms that govern the adaptability and strategic behaviors of ant societies, particularly in the context of rapidly changing environmental conditions and anthropogenic influences. Therefore, this paper deeply studies the adaptability and strategy of ant society, focusing on its cooperation and defense behavior. This paper first outlines the unique position of social insects in ecosystems, and then discusses in detail the social structure of ants, including the roles of soldiers, workers and queens. In terms of internal cooperation behavior, the tacit cooperation between ant individuals, as well as the care of larvae and the maintenance of nests were analyzed. In terms of external defense mechanisms, it highlights the diversity strategies of ant society against external threats. This comprehensive study provides a new perspective for understanding the behavior and ecological characteristics of social insects. By examining the adaptability and strategic behaviors of ant societies through a comprehensive lens, this study provides critical insights into the mechanisms of social cohesion and resilience in insect colonies, which have important implications for the broader field of biological research.
