How ants shape biodiversity.

Current Biology, 2021
In between Earth's poles, ants exert impacts on other biota that are unmatched by most animal clades. Through their interactions with animals, plants, fungi and microbes, ants have cultivated - or succumbed to - relationships ranging from metabolic ...

Sensitive ants are sensible ants

Proceedings of the 14th annual conference on Genetic and evolutionary computation, 2012
This 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

Social Evolution in Ants

, 2019
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

Ant opsins: Sequences from the Saharan silver ant and the carpenter ant

Invertebrate Neuroscience, 1996
cDNA 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.

Ants Exploiting Ants

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.

On Recalling Ant

The Sociological Review, 1998
The paper explores one after the other the four difficulties of actor-network theory, that is the words ‘actor’, ‘network’ and ‘theory’—without forgetting the hyphen. It tries to refocus the originality of what is more a method to deploy the actor's own world building activities than an alternative social theory.

The Fuzzy Ant

2006 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems, 2006
The design of artificial systems inspired by biological behavior is recently attracting considerable interest. Many biological agents such as plants or animals were forced to develop sophisticated mechanisms in order to tackle various problems they encounter in their habitat.

Ants ordering ants to feed

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 ...

Ant venoms

Current Opinion in Allergy & Clinical Immunology, 2010
The review summarizes knowledge about ants that are known to sting humans and their venoms.Fire ants and Chinese needle ants are showing additional spread of range. Fire ants are now important in much of Asia. Venom allergens have been characterized and studied for fire ants and jack jumper ants.
