European Journal of Entomology, 2008 We have studied the effect of different light gradient regimes on host-plant selection of the carrot psyllid, Trioza apicalis Förster. In both a strong and a weak light gradient, carrot psyllids preferred a carrot leaf placed in higher light intensity ...

Current Biology, 2017 The reality of invisible chemical signals, pheromones, between members of the same species was recognized long before they could be identified. Charles Darwin proposed that the breeding season sexual smells of male crocodiles, goats and other animals, too, could have evolved by sexual selection of the smelliest males through female choice. But it's not

Effect of trail bifurcation asymmetry and pheromone presence or absence on trail choice by Lasius niger ants [PDF]
, 2014 During foraging, ant workers are known to make use of multiple information sources, such as private information (personal memory) and social information (trail pheromones).

Ant colony optimization and its application to the vehicle routing problem with pickups and deliveries [PDF]
, 2009 Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is a population-based metaheuristic that can be used to find approximate solutions to difficult optimization problems. It was first introduced for solving the Traveling Salesperson Problem. Since then many implementations of

An ant colony genetic fusion routing algorithm based on soft define network
IET Networks, EarlyView., 2022 Abstract Aiming at the problem that there are many paths in data forwarding in soft define network (SDN) network, and the optimal path is difficult to find, combined with the advantages of ant colony algorithm and Genetic algorithm (GA), a routing control strategy based on the ant colony genetic fusion algorithm is proposed.

An efficient optimization algorithm for electric vehicle routing problem
IET Power Electronics, EarlyView., 2023 1. To minimize the cost of travel and travel time for electric vehicles (EVs) while considering constraints on battery capacity, charging time, and delivery/pickup requirements. 2. To find the most efficient route to charging stations to address the issue of range anxiety and the scarcity of charging infrastructure. 3.
