The response of ants to climate change
Global Change Biology, 2022 Ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) are one of the most dominant terrestrial organisms worldwide. They are hugely abundant, both in terms of sheer numbers and biomass, on every continent except Antarctica and are deeply embedded within a diversity of ...

AntBot: A six-legged walking robot able to home like desert ants in outdoor environments
Science Robotics, 2019 Our ant-inspired robot returned home outdoors with a mean error of only 6.5 cm after covering distances between 5 and 14 m. Autonomous outdoor navigation requires reliable multisensory fusion strategies.

Macroecology and macroevolution of the latitudinal diversity gradient in ants
Nature Communications, 2018 The latitudinal diversity gradient—the tendency for more species to occur toward the equator—is the dominant pattern of life on Earth, yet the mechanisms responsible for it remain largely unexplained.

Nature Communications, 2018 Nitrogen acquisition is a major challenge for herbivorous animals, and the repeated origins of herbivory across the ants have raised expectations that nutritional symbionts have shaped their diversification.

Wellcome Open Research, 2023 We present a genome assembly from an individual Buathra laborator (Arthropoda; Insecta; Hymenoptera; Ichneumonidae). The genome sequence is 330 megabases in span. Over 60% of the assembly is scaffolded into 11 chromosomal pseudomolecules.

The abundance, biomass, and distribution of ants on Earth
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2022 Significance The astounding ubiquity of ants has prompted many naturalists to contemplate their exact number on Earth, but systematic and empirically derived estimates are lacking.

Distributed Computing, 2016 We introduce the Ants Nearby Treasure Search (ANTS) problem, which models natural cooperative foraging behavior such as that performed by ants around their nest. In this problem, k probabilistic agents, initially placed at a central location, collectively search for a treasure on the two-dimensional grid.
