A research team from the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology has shown in a new study that ants returning from habitats affected by air pollution are attacked when they re-enter the colony. The ...

A perspective in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface argues that advances in AI, sensing technologies and modeling are ...

A major breakthrough has been achieved in the fight against the invasive polyphagous shot hole borer (PSHB), Euwallacea ...

Native ants in the forests around the recent Eaton fire had survived the heat, flames and smoke, an evolutionary survival ...

Abstract: Traditional Ant Colony Optimization (T-ACO) algorithms often face challenges in dynamic environments, particularly the tendency to become trapped in local minima, resulting in suboptimal ...

Sick ant pupae of Lasius neglectus can sense when they’ll die from infection and signal for help, triggering their own destruction to protect the colony—a selfless act studied at IST Austria and the ...

The behavior prevents fungal pathogens from spreading through the colony Researchers call it "altruistic disease signaling" that protects the ant superorganism In a rare example of biological altruism ...

Scientists describe the behavior as "altruistic signalling," a form of social immunity in eusocial insects Getty A new research study finds infected ant pupae emit a chemical signal that prompts ...

Motion planning and Navigation of AGV/AMR：matlab implementation of Dijkstra, A*, Theta*, JPS, D*, LPA*, D* Lite, RRT, RRT*, RRT-Connect, Informed RRT*, ACO, Voronoi ...

Implementation of the Ant Colony Optimization meta-heuristic for the Protein Structure Prediction problem using 2D HP model. This approach includes the pull move heuristic for local search.

A new study reveals astonishing behavior within ant colonies: certain worker ants willingly sacrifice themselves to protect the colony’s survival. Researchers found that these ants take on high-risk ...
