Colony specificity and starvation-driven changes in activity patterns of the red ant Myrmica rubra. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2022 Although the activity levels of insect societies are assumed to contribute to their ergonomic efficiency, most studies of the temporal organization of ant colony activity have focused on only a few species. Little is known about the variation in activity

A Method for Degenerate Primer Design Based on Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm
Applied Sciences, 2022 Aiming to address the complex degenerate primer design problem in the biological field, in this paper, we design a degenerate primer optimization model considering primer coverage and degeneracy that allows a small number of base mismatches, and propose ...

Cellular aspects of allorecognition in the compound ascidian Botrylloides simodensis [PDF]
Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2014 When colonies of the compound ascidian Botrylloides simodensis contact each other at their cut surfaces, either fusion or rejection occurs. Contact between genetically compatible colonies leads to the complete fusion of their tunics and vasculature ...

Colony specificity in Botrylloides leachi. I. Morphological aspects [PDF]
Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2006 We studied colony specificity in the colonial ascidian Botrylloides leachi which, as in other botryllid ascidians, leads to either fusion or non-fusion between contacting colonies.
