Compositional heterogeneity and outgroup choice influence the internal phylogeny of the ants
bioRxiv, 2017 Knowledge of the internal phylogeny and evolutionary history of ants (Formicidae), the world’s most species-rich clade of eusocial organisms, has dramatically improved since the advent of molecular phylogenetics.

Chemoreceptor Evolution in Hymenoptera and Its Implications for the Evolution of Eusociality. [PDF]
, 2015 Eusocial insects, mostly Hymenoptera, have evolved unique colonial lifestyles that rely on the perception of social context mainly through pheromones, and chemoreceptors are hypothesized to have played important adaptive roles in the evolution of ...

, 2009 We show how the Apparently Noninvariant Terms (ANTs), which emerge in perturbation theory of nonlinear sigma models, are consistent with the nonlinearly realized symmetry by employing the Ward-Takahashi identity (in the form of an inhomogeneous Zinn ...

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 ...

Near Optimal Channel Assignment for Interference Mitigation in Wireless Mesh Networks [PDF]
, 2016 In multi-radio multi-channel (MRMC) WMNs, interference alleviation is affected through several network design techniques e.g., channel assignment (CA), link scheduling, routing etc., intelligent CA schemes being the most effective tool for interference ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...
