Ants Sense, and Follow, Trail Pheromones of Ant Community Members
Insects, 2019 Ants deposit trail pheromones that guide nestmates to food sources. We tested the hypotheses that ant community members (Western carpenter ants, Camponotus modoc; black garden ants, Lasius niger; European fire ants, Myrmica rubra) (1) sense, and follow ...

Modeling of pheromone communication system of forest Lepidopterous insects. II. Model of female searching by male [PDF]
Сибирский лесной журнал, 2015 We propose an agentbased simulation model search. This model allows us to evaluate the effectiveness of different malesfemales pheromone search strategies for Lepidoptera.

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.

Excitation and inhibition onto central courtship neurons biases Drosophila mate choice
eLife, 2015 The ability to distinguish males from females is essential for productive mate selection and species propagation. Recent studies in Drosophila have identified different classes of contact chemosensory neurons that detect female or male pheromones and ...

Ecology and Evolution, 2020 In many animals, mate choice is important for the maintenance of reproductive isolation between species. Traits important for mate choice and behavioral isolation are predicted to be under strong stabilizing selection within species; however, such traits

Sex Pheromones of the Potato Tuber Moth (Phthorimaea operculella)
Frontiers in Chemistry, 2022 The potato tuber moth (Phthorimaea operculella) is a major potato pest. Its sex pheromones contain two chemical structures: 4E,7Z-tridecadiene-1-ol acetate (PTM1) and 4E,7Z,10Z-tridecatriene-1-ol acetate (PTM2).
