Episode 68: Superorganisms
Large groups of related organisms occasionally behave in ways similar to single multicellular organisms. This phenomenon is especially prevalent in insects, especially in the order Hymenoptera. If this order is ever split it will be unable to wear white at its wedding. The fearsome threesome of Michael, Marschal and Jon tackle this phenomenon as well as some current science news.
