Insect Science, EarlyView.Strict patterns of co‐divergence have rarely been documented other than among organisms and their symbionts. In this paper, using a molecular approach, we inferr the population‐level phylogenies of a Mediterranean ant species Pheidole pallidula and its nest parasite, the obligate myrmecophilous beetle Paussus favieri. We then investigate the role of co‐

A DISTRIBUTED APPROACH TO ANT COLONY OPTIMIZATION [PDF]
Swarm Intelligence(SI) is the emergent collective intelligence of groups of simple agents. Economy is an example of SI. Simulating an economy using Ant Colony algorithms would allow prediction and control of fluctuations in the complex emergent behavior ...

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Aphelonyx cerricola and the different stages that make this gall colonizable by ants. ABSTRACT Wasps of the family Cynipidae are known to induce galls of a species‐specific morphology, which during senescence provide a refuge for secondary insect fauna, especially ants.

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.We performed 16S rDNA sequencing and metabolite profiling for three sympatric lizard species—Teratoscincus roborowskii, Phrynocephalus axillaris, and Eremias roborowskii—and compared their goblet cell and enzyme activities in the digestive tract. Our study suggests that the dietary niche may promote divergence or convergence of microbiota across host ...

The Dynamic Simulation Platform for Chemical Gas Diffusion based on Cloud Computing
Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2017 The toxic chemical gas leakage is a common safety accident in petrochemical enterprises. Once the leakage occurs in the process of storage and transportation, it will cause heavy losses and serious consequences.

Mothbox and Mothbot: Automated light trap and data processing system for scalable insect monitoring
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Insects represent the most diverse group of organisms on Earth and comprise the majority of known species; yet they are seldom accounted for in large‐scale biodiversity monitoring systems and conservation planning. We have developed the Mothbox—an open source automated light trap that makes insect monitoring accessible to non‐specialists and ...

Cooperation-based Ant Colony Algorithm in WSN
Journal of Networks, 2013 This paper proposed a routing algorithm based on ant colony algorithm. The traditional ant colony algorithm updates pheromone according to the path length, to get the shortest path from the initial node to destination node. But MIMO system is different from the SISO system. The distance is farther but the energy is not bigger. Similarly, the closer the

Improving the cAnt-MinerPB Classification Algorithm [PDF]
, 2012 Ant Colony Optimisation (ACO) has been successfully applied to the classification task of data mining in the form of Ant-Miner. A new extension of Ant-Miner, called cAnt-MinerPB, uses the ACO procedure in a different fashion.
