修订版（140字）：

In the lecture, the professor used the example of ants to illustrate the concept of compound nesting. There are two types of ants living in the same hollow tree branch. One species is quite small, while the other is significantly larger. The larger ants collect food and bring it back to the branch to eat. When they eat, small bits of waste are left behind, which the tiny ants consume as their food source. This arrangement benefits the larger ants as well, as it keeps their shared living space clean. By consuming the waste, the smaller ants prevent harmful bacteria from growing, which could cause illness and threaten the survival of the larger ants. This example demonstrates how compound nesting provides advantages to both species involved.
