White ants, empire and entomo-politics in South Asia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
By focussing on the history of white ants in colonial South Asia, this article shows how insects were ubiquitous and fundamental to the shaping of British colonial power.

Observations on the Interrelationships among Ants, Aphids, and Aphid Predators [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Excerpt: The literature concerning the interactions of these insect groups is as interesting as it is extensive. It has generally been accepted that the relationship between ants and aphids has been one of mutualism in which ants derive all or a large ...

Cluster formation and anomalous fundamental diagram in an ant trail model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
A recently proposed stochastic cellular automaton model ({\it J. Phys. A 35, L573 (2002)}), motivated by the motions of ants in a trail, is investigated in detail in this paper.

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]

open access: yes, 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.

Rapid and Effective Electrical Conductivity Improvement of the Ag NW-Based Conductor by Using the Laser-Induced Nano-Welding Process

open access: yesMicromachines, 2017
To date, the silver nanowire-based conductor has been widely used for flexible/stretchable electronics due to its several advantages. The optical nanowire annealing process has also received interest as an alternative annealing process to the Ag nanowire

Climate‐driven phenological shifts in emergence dates of British bees

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2023
Climate change has a diverse range of impacts on wild bees, including their phenology or timing of life history events. Climate‐driven phenological shifts can not only impact individuals at species level but also threaten the vital pollination service ...

The organization of soil disposal by ants [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Colonies of Pheidole ambigua ants excavate soil and drop it outside the nest entrance. The deposition of thousands of loads leads to the formation of regular ring-shaped piles. How is this pattern generated? This study investigated soil pile formation on

Strong μ‐faster convergence and strong μ‐acceleration of convergence by regular matrices

open access: yesMathematical Modelling and Analysis, 2008
The present paper continues the study of acceleration of convergence started in the paper [A. Aasma, Proc. Estonian Acad. Sci. Phys. Math., 2006, 55, 4, 195–209].

Bi-directional route learning in wood ants [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Some ants and bees readily learn visually guided routes between their nests and feeding sites. They can learn the appearance of visual landmarks for the food-bound or homeward segment of the route when these landmarks are only present during that ...
