How Load-Carrying Ants Avoid Falling Over: Mechanical Stability during Foraging in Atta vollenweideri Grass-Cutting Ants

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
BackgroundForaging workers of grass-cutting ants (Atta vollenweideri) regularly carry grass fragments larger than their own body. Fragment length has been shown to influence the ants' running speed and thereby the colony's food intake rate.

The genome sequence of the ichneumon wasp Buathra laborator (Thunberg, 1822) [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]

open access: yesWellcome 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.

On the acceleration of convergence by regular matrix methods; pp. 3–17 [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the Estonian Academy of Sciences, 2008
Regular matrix methods that improve and accelerate the convergence of sequences and series are studied. Some problems related to the speed of convergence of sequences and series with respect to matrix methods are discussed.

Riding with the ants [PDF]

open access: yesPersoonia - 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.

HISTORICAL OVERVIEW OF USING FLUIDIZED-BED TECHNOLOGY FOR OIL SHALE COMBUSTION IN ESTONIA; pp. 85–99 [PDF]

open access: yesOil Shale, 2012
The use of oil shale as a fuel in Estonian Power Plants started at the begin­ning of the 20th century (e.g. Tallinn Power Plant 1923, Püssi Power Plant 1937). For combusting lump oil shale grate-firing technology was used.

Characteristics of exotic ants in North America [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The worldwide transport of species beyond their native range is an increasing problem, e.g. for global biodiversity. Many introduced species are able to establish in new environments and some even become invasive.

Ants as flower visitors : floral ant-repellence and the impact of ant scent-marks on pollinator behaviour [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
As flower visitors, ants rarely benefit a plant, commonly disrupting pollination by deterring other flower visitors, or stealing nectar. This thesis examines three aspects of ant-flower interactions, focusing on the occurrence of floral traits that ...

Performance of Altriset™ (Chlorantraniliprole) Termiticide Against Formosan Subterranean Termites, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki, in Laboratory Feeding Cessation and Collateral Transfer Trials, and Field Applications

open access: yesSociobiology, 2014
Chlorantraniliprole represents the first compound to be registered as a termiticide by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in over a decade. This novel termiticide is currently registered as a ‘reduced-risk pesticide’ by the EPA.
