(Planet Ant is a co-production between the BBC and the Discovery Channel)
Leider nur auf englisch bisher, dafuer aber ein recht frischer Mitschnitt. Die Sendung orientiert sich an einer Forschung von einer Atta cephalotes Kolonie aus Trinidad, die in Glasgow in einem kuenstlichen Nest untersucht werden.
The BBC will recreate the tropical forest floor, with plants and trees from which the leaf-cutters can gather leaves so they can make the fungi that allows them to live.
Half of the show will be following the development and activities in the Glasgow ant colony, and the other half will be looking at ant societies worldwide. The show will look at "super colonies" of ants which stretch across vast areas across the world.
It will also look at how the study of ant societies and their means of communication and transportation have influenced the algorithms used in computer research and operations and efficiency research.

BBC four: insect dissection - how insects work
Ich habe soeben eine neue Doku zur Anatomie von Insekten auf youtube gestellt. Diese wollt ich euch nicht vorenthalten, auch wenn sie erstmal recht allgemein gehalten ist. Eventuell mag es ja doch jemand sehen. Hab auch ein Hinweis zu diesem Forum im Video verankert. Falls unerwuenscht, nehm ich das wieder raus. Nun viel Spaß beim anschauen.
To reveal this extraordinary hidden world, entomologists Dr James Logan and Brendan Dunphy carry out a complete insect dissection. Cutting-edge imaging technology shows us the beauty and precision of the natural engineering inside even the simplest insects. Stripping back the layers, they uncover ingenious body systems and finely-tuned senses - a bug body plan that is the hidden blueprint behind insects' 'global domination'. They also discover how science is now using the secrets of insect anatomy to inspire technology that could save human lives.
