Antbird Espionage - Fledgling Theories

What this episode covers

Specially adapted antbird species can track and follow army-ant swarms in the Ecuadorian forest to take advantage of the arthropods the ants flush from the forest floor. But there may be other birds hoping to take advantage of these ant swarms-- if they can find them. This month, we're talking about the intriguing tale of intercepted communication between ant-following species with the article "Interspecific information use by army-ant-following birds" (Batcheller 2017).
