#12 For kids: Work in the anthill
<p>In this episode, we crawl deep inside the nest to discover the amazing world of ant jobs! From brave soldiers who guard the gates to clever foragers who find food, from tiny nurses who care for baby ants to huge workers who dig tunnels—every ant has a special role. But here's the really cool part: ants don't go to school to learn their jobs. They just GROW into them!</p><p><br></p><p>CREDITS</p><p>Script: Nicolas Châline</p><p>Revision: Maria Eduarda Lima Vieira</p><p>Editing: Carolina Santos</p><p>Soundtrack: Radiadora Sonorização</p><p>Visual Identity: Maria Eduarda Lima Vieira</p><p>Tradutor: João Pedro Moraes</p><p><br></p>

#10 Inside ant-plant relationships
<p>In this episode, we explore the fascinating relationships between ants and plants. From ants that live inside hollow thorns, defending their host in exchange for shelter, to plants that produce special food rewards to attract their tiny bodyguards—discover the incredible world of mutualism. Learn how some plants have evolved specific structures like domatia and extrafloral nectaries just for their ant partners, and how ants, in return, protect their green hosts from hungry herbivores. Some ant-plant relationships are so tight that neither can survive without the other! </p><p><br></p><p>** This episode was dubbed from Portuguese to English using the Eleven Labs artificial intelligence tool **</p><p><br></p><p>Follow us on Instagram: @sciantific.
