and behavior. For ant colonies that obligately nest within plant hosts, their sociometry is likely intertwined with the plant, which has implications for the evolution, strength, and stability of the mutualism. In theAzteca-Cecropia

Michael D.Breed,JaniceMoore, inAnimal Behavior, 2012 Army Ants Army antsare not the terror for humans portrayed in movies, but their biology is extraordinary and well worth discussing. Army ants lack a permanent nest; instead, colonies alternate between a stationary stage, during which the queen...
Provided are a behavior-disrupting agent of Argentine ants for controlling them or suppressing their reproduction is a safer and more effective manner, and the behavior-disrupting method of them. More specifically, a behavior-disrupting agent of Argentine ants comprising Z-9-hexadecenal, and a beha...
Ants live in colonies and have a social structure from the worker ants that gather the materials and food, as well as nursing and caring for the ant larvae (the babies), to the queen ant that runs the nest and is the only female that reproduces in her colony. The queen ant often can...
Simultaneously, on July 7, theHarpagoxenus colony conducted a slave raid on a neighboring nest ofLeptothorax acervorum (Fabricius). Previously the sexual behavior was known only from laboratory studies, these observations now show that it is performed in an identical manner under natural conditions...
Researchers went to Spain to mess with some desert ants.They found an active nest and surrounded it with barriers that forced the foraging(搜寻)ants to follow a particular path back home.Once the ants were familiar with the maze,the researchers would take them up,hand them pieces of a ...
Ant colony optimization (ACO) is, as the name suggests, based on the natural behavior of ant colonies and their individual worker ants. When ants forage, they naturally seem to find a “logical” and “effective” route between their nest and the food source; in other words, they seem to...
