In a laboratory on the east side of Manhattan, Dr. Daniel Kronauer of @rockefelleruniv and his colleagues are looking at the biology, brain, genetics and behavior of a single species of ant in ambitious, uncompromising detail. With the same level of detail, the photographer Béatrice de Géa captured the researchers hand-decorating clonal raider ants, Cerapachys biroi, with bright dots of pink, blue, red and lime-green paint, seen here. The color-coded system allows computers to track the ants’ movements 24 hours a day — and it also happens to make them look like walking jelly beans. “Our ultimate goal is to have a fundamental understanding of how a complex biological system works,” Dr. Kronauer told @ニューヨーク・タイムズ. As he sees it, ants in a colony are like cells in a multicellular organism, or like neurons in the brain: their fates joined, their labor synchronized, the whole an emergent force to be reckoned with.
