Diversity and mosaic structure of ant (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) community in traditional cocoa agroforestry systems in southern Cameroon [PDF]
, 2009 In cocoa agrosforestry systems, ants are the major arthropod component of the canopy. Since dominant ant species are usually active predators of insects. Ant community may contribute to protect cocoa against insect pests, and especially from cocoa mirids.

Quantifying the Impact of Ocrelizumab on Paramagnetic Rim Lesions in Multiple Sclerosis
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Paramagnetic rim lesions (PRLs) are a subset of chronic active multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions marked by iron‐laden microglia and macrophages. Ocrelizumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting CD20+ B cells, suppresses acute MS activity, but its effect on PRLs remains unclear. In a longitudinal study of 29 ocrelizumab‐treated patients with at least

Kinematic Modeling at the Ant Scale: Propagation of Model Parameter Uncertainties
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2022 Quadrupeds and hexapods are known by their ability to adapt their locomotive patterns to their functions in the environment. Computational modeling of animal movement can help to better understand the emergence of locomotive patterns and their body ...

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.A hierarchical porous copper current collector is fabricated via three‐dimensional printing combined with pressureless sintering to stabilize lithium metal anodes. The interconnected architecture lowers local current density, guides uniform Li deposition within pores, and suppresses dendrite growth.

Spatial relationships between dominant ants and the cocoa mirid Sahlbergella singularis in traditional cocoa-based agroforestry systems [PDF]
, 2012 Manipulating ant communities to control pests of cocoa has proven to be a promising strategy, especially in Asia. However, concerning African cocoa mirids, the main pests of cocoa in Africa, basic knowledge on mirid-ant relationships is still incomplete.

Arboreal twig-nesting ants form dominance hierarchies over nesting resources. [PDF]
, 2019 Interspecific dominance hierarchies have been widely reported across animal systems. High-ranking species are expected to monopolize more resources than low-ranking species via resource monopolization. In some ant species, dominance hierarchies have been
