Ant Colony Optimization Using Common Social Information and Self-Memory

open access: yesComplexity, 2021
Ant colony optimization (ACO), which is one of the metaheuristics imitating real ant foraging behavior, is an effective method to find a solution for the traveling salesman problem (TSP).

Specificity Between Lactobacilli And Hymenopteran Hosts Is The Exception Rather Than The Rule [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Lactobacilli (Lactobacillales: Lactobacillaceae) are well known for their roles in food fermentation, as probiotics, and in human health, but they can also be dominant members of the microbiota of some species of Hymenoptera (ants, bees, and wasps ...

Dissimilarity of Ant Communities Increases with Precipitation, but not Reduced Land-Use Intensity, in Indonesian Cacao Agroforestry

open access: yesDiversity, 2013
Land-use degradation and climate change are well-known drivers of biodiversity loss, but little information is available about their potential interaction. Here, we focus on the effects of land-use and precipitation on ant diversity in cacao agroforestry.

Group-wise 3D registration based templates to study the evolution of ant worker neuroanatomy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The evolutionary success of ants and other social insects is considered to be intrinsically linked to division of labor and emergent collective intelligence.

Are Tree Species Diversity and Genotypic Diversity Effects on Insect Herbivores Mediated by Ants?

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Plant diversity can influence predators and omnivores and such effects may in turn influence herbivores and plants. However, evidence for these ecological feedbacks is rare. We evaluated if the effects of tree species (SD) and genotypic diversity (GD) on

Diversity, prevalence and virulence of fungal entomopathogens in colonies of the ant Formica selysi [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The richness of the parasitic community associated with social insect colonies has rarely been investigated. Moreover, understanding how hosts and pathogens interact in nature is important to interpret results from laboratory experiments.

Ant-colony-based multiuser detection for multifunctional-antenna-array-assisted MC DS-CDMA systems

open access: yes, 2008
A novel Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) based Multi-User Detector (MUD) is designed for the synchronous Multi-Functional Antenna Array (MFAA) assisted Multi-Carrier Direct-Sequence Code-Division Multiple-Access (MC DS-CDMA) uplink (UL), which supports both

Competition with insectivorous ants as a contributor to low songbird diversity at low elevations in the eastern Himalaya

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2020
Competitive interactions between distantly related clades could cause complementary diversity patterns of these clades over large spatial scales. One such example might be ants and birds in the eastern Himalaya; ants are very common at low elevations but
