A Novel Heuristic Communication Heterogeneous Dual Population Ant Colony Optimization Algorithm

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2017
To balance the convergence speed and the solution's diversity in the large-scale travel salesman problem (TSP), this paper proposes a new heuristic communication heterogeneous dual population ant colony optimization (HHACO).

Cooperative Group Optimization with Ants (CGO-AS): Leverage Optimization with Mixed Individual and Social Learning

open access: yes, 2017
We present CGO-AS, a generalized Ant System (AS) implemented in the framework of Cooperative Group Optimization (CGO), to show the leveraged optimization with a mixed individual and social learning. Ant colony is a simple yet efficient natural system for

Abandonment of crop lands leads to different recovery patterns for ant and plant communities in Eastern Europe [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Significant proportion of crop lands have been abandoned as management strategies have changed in Central and Eastern Europe in the past decades. The study of insect versus plant communities in such areas could help us understand how these processes take

Arboreal twig-nesting ants form dominance hierarchies over nesting resources. [PDF]

open access: yes, 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

Climate and ant diversity explain the global distribution of ant‐plant mutualisms

open access: yesEcography, 2023
Biotic interactions play an important role in shaping species geographic distributions and diversity patterns. However, the role of mutualistic interactions in shaping global plant diversity patterns remains poorly understood, particularly with respect to interactions with invertebrates.
