Foraging by predatory ants: A review
Insect Science, EarlyView.This review focuses on ecological and behavioral characteristics of foraging in ants showing the wide diversity of cases. Most ants can feed on sugary substances, but some ground‐nesting species are strict predators. Except army ants during the nomadic phase, they are central‐place foragers that can recruit nestmates when necessary. They prey mostly on

A Look into How Machine Learning is Reshaping Engineering Models: the Rise of Analysis Paralysis, Optimal yet Infeasible Solutions, and the Inevitable Rashomon Paradox [PDF]
arXivThe widespread acceptance of empirically derived codal provisions and equations in civil engineering stands in stark contrast to the skepticism facing machine learning (ML) models, despite their shared statistical foundations. This paper examines this philosophical tension through the lens of structural engineering and explores how integrating ML ...

Insect Science, EarlyView.• We explored intraspecific variation of thermal tolerance among populations of a widespread diving beetle across an elevational gradient.• We found no evidence of local adaption of thermal tolerance along the elevational gradient and limited plasticity of thermal limits.• Our results suggest thermal niche conservatism as a result of gene flow or ...

Geographical Research, EarlyView.Abstract In March of 2020, the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID‐19) escalated into a global health emergency. In Madrid, public institutions were overwhelmed by this crisis, and mutual aid networks were deployed in multiple neighbourhoods to assist thousands of families—approximately 15,000 households—with food and care in the absence of actions taken ...

Potential of alternative control of leaf‐cutting ants using essential oils: A systematic review
Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.Abstract Leaf‐cutting ants (LCAs) are abundant and cause considerable damage to agricultural and forest crops in the Neotropical region and are commonly controlled using sulfluramid‐based ant baits. However, this active ingredient is a precursor of perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS), a persistent, human‐made pollutant that poses serious environmental
