The organization of soil disposal by ants [PDF]
, 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

Urban tropical forest islets as hotspots of ants in general and invasive ants in particular
Scientific Reports, 2022 Urbanization is a crucial driver of environmental and biodiversity change. It is suggested that urbanization favours generalist and invasive species and might harm specialists of natural and semi-natural habitats.

Dry habitats were crucibles of domestication in the evolution of agriculture in ants
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2017 The evolution of ant agriculture, as practised by the fungus-farming ‘attine’ ants, is thought to have arisen in the wet rainforests of South America about 55–65 Ma.

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 ,

The effect of diet and opponent size on aggressive interactions involving caribbean crazy ants (Nylanderia fulva). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Biotic interactions are often important in the establishment and spread of invasive species. In particular, competition between introduced and native species can strongly influence the distribution and spread of exotic species and in some cases ...

Fungi as mutualistic partners in ant-plant interactions
Frontiers in Fungal Biology, 2023 Associations between fungi and ants living in mutualistic relationship with plants (“plant-ants”) have been known for a long time. However, only in recent years has the mutualistic nature, frequency, and geographical extent of associations between ...
