Social parasitism involves one species relying on another to raise its young. Among vertebrates, the best known social parasites are such birds as cuckoos and cowbirds; the female lays egg in a nest belonging to another species and leaves it for the host to Line rear. (5). The dulotic species of ants, however, are the supreme social parasites. Consider, for example, the unusual behavior of ants belonging to the genus Polyergus. All species of this ant have lost the ability to care for themselves. The workers do not forage for food, feed their brood or queen, or even clean their own nest. To compensate for these deficits, Polyergus has become specialized at obtaining workers from the related genus (10) Formica to do these chores.

In a raid, several thousand Polyergus workers will travel up to 500 feet in search of a Formica nest, penetrate it, drive off the queen and her workers, capture the pupal brood, and transport it back to their nest. The captured brood is then reared by the resident Formica workers until the developing pupae emerge to add to the Formica (15) population, which maintains the mixed-species nest. The Formica workers forage for food and give it to colony members of both species. They also remove wastes and excavate new chambers as the population increases.

The true extent of the Polyergus ants' dependence on the Formica becomes apparent when the worker population grows too large for existing nest. Formica scouts locate (20) a new nesting site, return to the mixed species colony, and recruit additional Formica nest mates. During a period that may last seven days, the Formica workers carry to the new nest all the Polyergus eggs, larvae, and pupae, every Polyergus adult, and even the Polyergus queen. Of the approximately 8,000 species of ants in the world, all 5 species of Polyergus (25) and some 200 species in other genera have evolved some degree of parasitic relationship with other ants.

41. Which of the following statements best represents the main idea of the passage?

A. Ants belonging to the genus Formica are incapable of performing certain tasks.

B. The genus Polyergus is quite similar to the genus Formica.

C. Ants belonging to the genus Polyergus have an unusual relationship with ants belonging to the genus Formica.

D. Poltergus ants frequently leave their nests to build new colonies.

Contrary to popular belief, one does not have to be a trained programmer to work online. Of course, there are plenty of jobs for people with high-tech computer skills, but the growth of new media has opened up a wide range of internet career opportunities requiring only a minimal level of technical expertise.

Probably one of the most well-known online job opportunities is the job of webmaster. However, it is hard to define one basic job description for this position. To specify the job description of a webmaster, one needs to identify the hardware and software that the website the webmaster will manage is running on. Different types of hardware and software require different skill sets to manage them. Another key factor is whether the website will be running internally (at the firm itself) or externally (renting shared space on the company servers). Finally, the responsibilities of a webmaster also depend on whether he or she will be working independently, or whether the firm will provide people to help. All of these factors need to be considered before one can create an accurate webmaster job description.

Webmaster is one type of internet career requiring in-depth knowledge of the latest computer applications. However, there are also online jobs available for which tradition skills remain in high demand. Content jobs require excellent writing skills and a good sense of the web as a new media. This term is difficult to define because it encompasses a constantly growing set of new technologies and skills. Specifically, it includes website, email, Internet telephony, CD-ROM, DVD, streaming audio and video, and so on. With many companies having to downsize in touch economic times, the outsourcing and contracting of freelance worker online has become common business practice. The internet provides an infinite pool of buyers from around the world with whom freelancers can contract their services. Additionally, many of today’s Internet careers are becoming paid-by-the-job professions. An added benefit to such online jobs is that freelancers are able to work on projects with companies outside their own country of residence.
