, 1987 Perhaps the most sophisticated tools for dissecting the social structure of ants are those ants that exploit other ants. These exploiters range from ants that merely rob others to those that use common trail systems, while yet more devious forms share both the nests and the food supply of their hosts.

Biologists have long been intrigued and confounded by the complex issues in the evolution and ecology of the social behaviour of insects. The self-sacrifice of sterile workers in ant colonies has been particularly difficult for evolutionary biologists to

Ants are found everywhere from garden to mountaintop. They are at their most diverse in the tropics, but that does not make the 61 species of our part of the world any less fascinating or significant. As social insects, ants have fascinating life histories. Ecologically, they are highly important and influential.

Sensitive ants are sensible ants
Proceedings of the 14th annual conference on Genetic and evolutionary computation, 2012This paper introduces an approach to evolving computer programs using an Attribute Grammar (AG) extension of Grammatical Evolution (GE) to eliminate ineffective pieces of code with the help of context-sensitive information.The standard Context-Free Grammars (CFGs) used in GE, Genetic Programming (GP) (which uses a special type of CFG with just a single

Ant opsins: Sequences from the Saharan silver ant and the carpenter ant
Invertebrate Neuroscience, 1996cDNA clones encoding opsins from compound eyes of carpenter ant, Camponotus abdominalis, and Saharan silver ant, Cataglyphis bombycina, were isolated from cDNA libraries. The opsin cDNAs from each species code for deduced proteins with 378 amino acids which are 92% identical.

The Numbers of Ants in Ant Colonies
Annals of the Entomological Society of America, 1942The number of ants in an ant hill is a question of perennial interest. Forel's estimate of a maximum of half a million to a hill was not supported by Yung's actual enumerations (1900) which showed that of five hills of Formica rufa only one approximated one hundred thousand ants, the other four being well below that number.

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2002
In a recent paper, M. Beekman and co-workers carried out experimental and theoretical investigations into the behaviour of a biological system consisting of a colony of Pharaoh's ants. By manipulating the colony, the foraging behaviour of the ants was, remarkably, shown to be capable of undergoing a transition between a disordered and an ordered state ...
