Cryptic functional diversity in ant tandem runs
2022AbstractAnts have evolved diverse recruitment methods to guide colony members to valuable resources, such as food or nest sites. One of these methods, tandem running, consists of an informed leader directly guiding a naive follower every step of the way from nest to resource.

Periodicity and diversity in ant mating flights
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Physiology, 19921. Flight hours and seasons are alike within species, but differ among species and among genera. 2. Laboratory studies indicate internal circadian control of the phase relation to the light-dark cycle, with field evidence for modification by temperature (or other environmental variables). 3.

Ant impacts on global patterns of bird elevational diversity
Ecology Letters, 2023Abstract Using data on bird species elevational distributions from the world's mountain ranges, bird diets, and the distribution of the ant genus Oecophylla , we report that global patterns in bird elevational diversity show signals of competition with ants.

Dimensions of ant diversity on a small tropical island
Insect Conservation and Diversity, 2018Recent appreciation of the multidimensional nature of biodiversity has prompted biologists to examine the taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic attributes of natural communities. Simultaneous consideration of such multiple diversity dimensions provides

Demand coverage diversity based ant colony optimization for dynamic vehicle routing problems
Engineering applications of artificial intelligence, 2020Dynamic vehicle routing problem (DVRP) has attracted increasing attention due to its wide applications in logistics. Compared with the static vehicle routing problem, DVRP is characterized by the prior unknown customer requests dynamically appearing in ...

Aim: In ectotherms, gradients of environmental temperature can regulate metabolism, development and ultimately fitness. The thermal adaptation hypothesis assumes that thermoregulation is costly and predicts that more thermally variable environments ...

We investigated the patterns of taxonomic (TD) and functional (FD) α and β‐diversities of ants in a mountainous landscape along three dimensions, namely one temporal (seasonal) and two spatial dimensions: between habitats – grassland and forest habitats (

High diversity of ants in Australian vineyards
Australian Journal of Entomology, 2010AbstractAnt diversity in Australia is exceptionally high compared to other regions of the world, with semiarid regions being the most species‐rich. Ants perform numerous ecological functions and have been used in various biomonitoring programs. The role of ants in vineyards is unclear although other studies have focussed on controlling the invasive ...

Introduced ants reduce interaction diversity in a multi‐species, ant–aphid mutualism
Oikos, 2018Mutualisms contribute in fundamental ways to the origin, maintenance and organization of biological diversity. Introduced species commonly participate in mutualisms, but how this phenomenon affects patterns of interactions among native mutualists remains incompletely understood.
