Ant carries the dead to the graveyard

In a new scientific research, scientists discovered that the living ant can recognizes the dead
one to carry it to the graveyard out of the colony….Glory to Allah…
When an ant dies in an ant nest or near one, its body is quickly picked up by living ants and
removed from the colony, thus limiting the risk of colony infection by pathogens from the corpse.
 
Scientists who studied those insects said that the dead ants release chemicals created by
decomposition (such as fatty acids) that signal their death to the colony's living ants.

Ants are small, six-legged insects that can grow up to two inches long. A logical question, is the
vague blind nature able to create a creature with that preciseness?
But a new paper is published online in the early edition of the Proceedings of the National
Academy of Sciences, the researchers report that all ants, both living and dead, have the "death
chemicals" continually, but live ants have them along with other chemicals associated with life –
the "life chemicals." When an ant dies, its life chemicals dissipate or are degraded, and only the
death chemicals remain.
"It's because the dead ant no longer smells like a living ant that it gets carried to the graveyard,
not because its body releases new, unique chemicals after death," said Dong-Hwan Choe, the
lead author of the research paper and a graduate student working towards his doctoral degree
with Michael Rust, a professor of entomology at UCR.
