Researchers have noted that ants arrange their dead using the same
principles thought to produce the markings on animal skin and on tropical sea
shells, a first clear example of so-called Turing patterns in higher organisms.
Line Turing argued that activation occurs through a feedback process that amplifies
(5) small variations in the concentration of one of the ingredients, while inhibition
causes a concentration of activity to suppress the appearance of similar
concentrations nearby. Ant graveyards are an example of a self-amplifying
activation process: ants are more likely to drop a corpse on a pile than
elsewhere, and because collecting bodies and adding them to a pile sweeps the
(10) surrounding space clear, new cemeteries are inhibited from appearing in the
vicinity of existing ones. While activator-inhibitor mechanisms have previously
been proposed to explain how predators and prey distribute themselves across an
ecosystem, it is the first time such a system has conclusively proven that
Turing’s process operates at the level of colonies and ecosystems.
The author considers the example of the creation of ant cemeteries to be novel for which of the following reasons?
选项
A、Ant cemeteries exhibit elements of activation but not inhibition, a proposition formerly questioned by Turing’s theory.
B、Ant cemeteries exhibit Turing patterns in the absence of the predator-prey system.
C、Ant cemeteries involve self-amplification activation, as opposed to amplification from outside sources.
D、Ants are considered a higher organism, in which Turing patterns have never previously been established.
E、Turing’s theory has only explained the distribution of ants across the ecosystem, until now.
