Jul 25, 2014 at 21:07 comment added Jori @Kip Yes, doesn't count. It still is a direct response to a stimuli (the idea of fleshy creatures damaging the hive when seeing it and associating it with a rudimentary instinct, the urge to protect the species). But thanks for the suggestion. They are more than welcome. (OFF-TOPIC, is it: "more then welcome" or "more than welcome"?)
Jul 25, 2014 at 20:59 comment added Kip I guess a bee stinging a fleshy creature doesn't count, because it is for the good of the hive?
Jul 22, 2014 at 8:09 comment added Jori @Oddthinking Opinions is maybe a bit misworded here, I meant more scientific articles or references to EXPERT opinions. It doesn't require animals to have anything. I gave only a bit of context about what I meant by "animal suicide". This context is useful if you want to understand to question better (e.g. you can deduct from it that semelparity doesn't count as animal suicide here). I don't see the need for a downvote here, but if you honestly feel the question is bad, it's okay, but I would rather hear suggestion for improvement :-). Thank-you for commenting.
Jul 22, 2014 at 6:21 comment added Oddthinking I dislike this question. It requires anthropomorphising animals thought-processes, and pretty much starts with a need for consciousness, which is already an area impossible to supply definitive answers to. Your bounty request for "additional opinions" is telling; opinions are generally off-topic (with exceptions).

Jul 19, 2014 at 20:16 comment added Jori @Oddthinking I tried to respond to your comment about the lack of a definition of suicide from my side, but the reply became too large, so I had to put it in the question itself.

Jul 19, 2014 at 18:10 comment added Oddthinking I would argue that semelparity counted as suicide, but it is more an argument of definitions not facts, so I can't bring myself to make it an answer.
