RI: Rheology as a Tool for Understanding the Mechanics of Live Ant Aggregations, Part 1

Abstract

An Anton Paarr MCR 501 rheometer was purchased in order to measure rheological properties of biological fluids. Using this machine, we were able to characterize non-Newtonian fluids such as frog saliva, mammalian earwax, feces, blood clots, and fire ants and microgel suspensions.
