Double Ant Colony Algorithm Based on Collaborative Mechanism and Dynamic Regulation Strategy
Jisuanji kexue yu tansuo, 2021 Aiming at the problem that the ant colony algorithm has slow convergence rate and poor diversity in solving traveling salesman problem (TSP), double ant colony algorithm based on collaborative mechanism and dynamic regulation strategy is proposed ...

Ant diversity and composition patterns along the urbanization gradients in an arid city
, 2021 The dramatic increased rates of uncontrolled urbanisation in various parts of the World have resulted in loss of native species and overall threats to biodiversity. Over the last few decades Saudi Arabia has witnessed a remarkably rapid population growth

Functional and mechanistic diversity in ant tandem communication
iScience, 2023 Communication is fundamental to the organization of animal societies, often resulting in the convergent evolution of similar social behavior across lineages. However, this similarity may conceal underlying functional and mechanistic differences.

Can Monoculture Timber Plantations Conserve More Ant Communities Than Adjacent Natural Forests?
Diversity, 2022 Understanding where biodiversity is and how it is distributed is crucial to conserving vulnerable and dynamic ecosystems. Although natural forests support greater diversity and are vital for the conservation of organisms, recent studies have argued that ...

Experimental warming weakens positive plant diversity effects on pitfall trap sampled ant diversity
Soil Organisms, 2022 Ants are important components of many terrestrial ecosystems because of their high abundance, their central position in food webs, and because they can strongly influence ecosystem properties such as soil aeration, nutrient cycling, and plant community ...

Ant diversity studies in Acre: what we know and what we could do to know more?
Boletim do Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi - Ciências Naturais, 2020 Brazil counts with one the largest ant diversity in the world. But, given its continental dimension and uneven scientific development process, there are still several gaps in the knowledge of this biodiversity.

Ant diversity in Neotropical savannas: hierarchical processes acting at multiple spatial scales.
Journal of Animal Ecology, 2020 1. Understanding what creates and maintains macroscale biodiversity gradients is a central focus of ecological and evolutionary research. Spatial patterns in diversity are driven by a hierarchy of factors operating at multiple scales.
