Contribution of wet zone coconut plantations and non-agricultural lands to the conservation of ant communities (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in Sri Lanka [PDF]
Кавказский энтомологический бюллетень, 2020 Agricultural practices are blamed for the reduction of ant diversity on earth. Contribution of four coconut plantations (CP) and four non-agricultural lands (NL) for sustaining diversity and relative abundance of ground-dwelling and ground-foraging ants ...

Promoting Search Diversity in Ant Colony Optimization with Stubborn Ants
Procedia Computer Science, 2012 AbstractIn ant colony optimization (ACO) methods, including Ant System and MAX-M IN Ant System, each ant stochastically generates its candidate solution, in a given iteration, based on the same pheromone T and heuristic η information as every other ant.

A Systematic Review of Global Drivers of Ant Elevational Diversity.
PLoS ONE, 2016 Ant diversity shows a variety of patterns across elevational gradients, though the patterns and drivers have not been evaluated comprehensively. In this systematic review and reanalysis, we use published data on ant elevational diversity to detail the ...

Dominance–diversity relationships in ant communities differ with invasion [PDF]
Global Change Biology, 2018 AbstractThe relationship between levels of dominance and species richness is highly contentious, especially in ant communities. The dominance‐impoverishment rule states that high levels of dominance only occur in species‐poor communities, but there appear to be many cases of high levels of dominance in highly diverse communities.

International Journal of Ecophysiology, 2022 One of the diversity of subfamily level ants is Myrmicinae. Myrmicinae are distributed throughout the world in all major habitats except ecosystem areas with low diversity indicating pressure that will affect ecosystem quality. The types of ants obtained from the location of the USU campus found 9 species consisting of 5 subfamilies as follows ...
