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

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

orco mutagenesis causes loss of antennal lobe glomeruli and impaired social behavior in ants
bioRxiv, 2017 Life inside ant colonies is orchestrated with a diverse set of pheromones, but it is not clear how ants perceive these social cues. It has been proposed that pheromone perception in ants evolved via expansions in the numbers of odorant receptors (ORs ...

Some notes on matrix transforms of summability domains of Cesàro matrices
Mathematical Modelling and Analysis, 2010 In this paper sufficient conditions for a matrix M = (mnk ) (mnk are Cesàro numbers As n‐k, s ∈ C if k ≤ n and mnk= 0 if k > n) to be a transform from the summability domain of the Cesàro method Cα into the summability domain of another Cesàro method Cβ ,

Negative effects of ant-plant interaction on pollination: costs of a mutualism
Sociobiology, 2021 The mutualism of ants and extrafloral nectary (EFN)-bearing plants is known to reduce rates of herbivory. However, ants may have negative impacts on other mutualisms such as pollination, constituting an indirect cost of a facultative mutualism.

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.

How to coexist with fire ants: The roles of behaviour and cuticular compounds [PDF]
, 2013 tBecause territoriality is energetically costly, territorial animals frequently respond less aggressively toneighbours than to strangers, a reaction known as the “dear enemy phenomenon” (DEP).

, 2017 Targeted enrichment of conserved genomic regions (e.g. ultraconserved elements or UCEs) has emerged as a promising tool for inferring evolutionary history in many organismal groups.
