Ant's Social Division of Labor and Its Influencing Factors [PDF]
BIO Web of ConferencesAs a higher social insect, ants have a clear hierarchy within them. According to the different divisions of labor, ant groups mainly include worker ants, soldier ants, male ants, and queen ants.

Heat-induced symmetry breaking in ant (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) escape behavior. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 The collective egress of social insects is important in dangerous situations such as natural disasters or enemy attacks. Some studies have described the phenomenon of symmetry breaking in ants, with two exits induced by a repellent.

, 2015 It is well stablished that danger information can be transmitted by ants through relatively small distances, provoking either a state of alarm when they move away from potentially dangerous stimulus, or charge toward it aggressively.

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.

Bi-directional route learning in wood ants [PDF]
, 2006 Some ants and bees readily learn visually guided routes between their nests and feeding sites. They can learn the appearance of visual landmarks for the food-bound or homeward segment of the route when these landmarks are only present during that ...

Open Journal of Philosophy, 2013 Anthropic reasoning is a form of statistical reasoning based upon finding oneself a member of a particular reference class of conscious beings. By considering empirical distribution functions defined over animal life on Earth, we can deduce that the vast bulk of animal life is unlikely to be conscious.

Human-Centric Computing and Information Sciences, 2017 Since cloud computing provides computing resources on a pay per use basis, a task scheduling algorithm directly affects the cost for users. In this paper, we propose a novel cloud task scheduling algorithm based on ant colony optimization that allocates ...

Caterpillars and fungal pathogens: two co-occurring parasites of an ant-plant mutualism [PDF]
, 2011 In mutualisms, each interacting species obtains resources from its partner that it would obtain less efficiently if alone, and so derives a net fitness benefit.
