Foraging by predatory ants: A review
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 subspecies of region crossing change, region freeze crossing change [PDF]
We introduce a local move on a link diagram named a region freeze crossing change which is close to a region crossing change, but not the same. We study similarity and difference between region crossing change and region freeze crossing change.

Note on regions containing eigenvalues of a matrix [PDF]
By excluding some regions, in which each eigenvalue of a matrix is not contained, from the \alpha\beta-type eigenvalue inclusion region provided by Huang et al.(Electronic Journal of Linear Algebra, 15 (2006) 215-224), a new eigenvalue inclusion region is given.
