為慶祝螞蟻金服延期在港交所上市,今集我們會講解一種頗為特別的螞蟻品種–跳躍掠針蟻(Harpegnathos saltator)。540Please respect copyright.PENANAO2dvd8N4H3540Please respect copyright.PENANAcYPCul8Y3V

(圖2)螞蟻是社交性動物,各司其職。540Please respect copyright.PENANAn08xjNpWlJ540Please respect copyright.PENANArvkCniyzIX

蟻后一大群工蟻是的統領,管治一道族群,主職生蛋生育,而工蟻則負責出外捕獵食物,把糧食送到帶到巢穴。540Please respect copyright.PENANAHtXe1pP3q5
540Please respect copyright.PENANADaFvRQ34GR
當蟻后死去後,跳躍掠針蟻的其中一隻工蟻便會擔當蟻后的角色,維持族群安寧,而這個偽蟻后我們稱之為Gamergate。540Please respect copyright.PENANAxPve59euKM
540Please respect copyright.PENANA6rvv7P5NBM
這種工蟻轉變成偽蟻后的現象,暫時只有在跳躍掠針蟻這品種能夠觀察得到,並沒能在其他螞蟻品種中觀察得到。540Please respect copyright.PENANAPfxbdjJWfI

(圖3)這種獨特的現象自當然引起各科學家的興趣。而有科學家發現(Ref1),Worker轉變成為Gamergate後,腦部的Corazonin蛋白質含量會大幅度下降;540Please respect copyright.PENANAdylcvp7Ydd
往Worker腦部注射Corazonin蛋白質的話,則會減低螞蟻的潛在生蛋能力。540Please respect copyright.PENANAPs4xqISkKR540Please respect copyright.PENANAbSBjJOFOMH
540Please respect copyright.PENANAE78MbROd3P
而最為匪夷所思的是,當Worker轉變成為Gamergate後,其平均壽命會由5個月遞升至3年有多!540Please respect copyright.PENANArTZ7Ftdo40
540Please respect copyright.PENANAoO5XegHGSq
由工蟻變成偽蟻后的確切機制,現今一直還在發掘之中,其腦部結構性的轉變相信是扮演著非常重大的角色。540Please respect copyright.PENANAvrIJArRtUt
