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.

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 ...

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.

Persoonia - Molecular Phylogeny and Evolution of Fungi, 2017 Isolates of Teratosphaeriaceae have frequently been found in the integument of attine ants, proving to be common and diverse in this microenvironment. The LSU phylogeny of the ant-isolated strains studied revealed that they cluster in two main lineages.

Current Biology, 2006 Research shows that ants, and also honeybees and other species of social insects, use several pheromones or other signals in organizing their foraging system. Two important and connected questions, therefore, are to determine why multiple signals are needed and how they work together. Some progress has been made in the honeybee, where four dances and a

The physics of cooperative transport in groups of ants [PDF]
Nature Physics, 2016 Anyone who has moved furniture together with friends will appreciate that cooperative transport requires some non-trivial communication. Yet ants are adept at collectively moving objects several times their size. How they do so has long been a subject of

Army ants algorithm for rare event sampling of delocalized nonadiabatic transitions by trajectory surface hopping and the estimation of sampling errors by the bootstrap method [PDF]
, 2004 The most widely used algorithm for Monte Carlo sampling of electronic transitions in trajectory surface hopping (TSH) calculations is the so-called anteater algorithm, which is inefficient for sampling low-probability nonadiabatic events.

Do bromeliads affect the arboreal ant communities on orange trees in northwestern Costa Rica?
PLoS ONE, 2022 Ants often interact with other invertebrates as predators or mutualists. Epiphytic bromeliads provide nesting sites for ants, and could increase ant abundances in the tree canopy.
