Ant expert Anders Hagman takes us into the ants’ different lives and shows that there are ants almost everywhere.
Participants: Anders Hagman, expert on ants; Patrizia dยดEttorre, animal behavior researcher at the Sorbonne Paris Nord University; Heikki Helanterรค, ant researcher at the University of Oulu.
