Protect yourself and wildlife from the wrath of fire ants with these effective ways to get rid of them, and avoid common remedies that don't work.

Ant societies rely on precise recognition systems to maintain cooperation, but new research reveals that these systems are ...

Scientists used a game-changing technique to scan about 2,200 preserved specimens in just one week to create the Antscan ...

Scientists created a massive digital library of ants using synchrotron X-ray scanning, robotics, and artificial intelligence.

Electrical distribution systems are characterized by dynamic operating conditions and complex network topologies, which pose ...

An international team of researchers has built the largest three-dimensional database of ant anatomy ever assembled, scanning roughly 2,000 specimens in a single week by combining synchrotron imaging, ...

Matabele ants, and some other species, rescue their injured comrades when on hunting raids. Nestmates lick the wounds of their injured comrades to prevent infection. Injured ants call for assistance ...

Humans are not the only animals to have a dedicated health care system. Some super-organized ant species not only recognize that their comrade is injured but actually carry them back to the ant nest ...

This project is an educational and research-oriented implementation that benchmarks and compares different metaheuristic algorithms for solving VRPTW problems. The VRPTW is a classic NP-hard ...

Life may look like a paradise for beetles living in ant colonies. Plump, wriggling ant larvae and helpless eggs sit waiting to be devoured, while hundreds of thousands of ants stand at the ready to ...

Ant colony system (ACS) based algorithm for the dynamic vehicle routing problem with time windows (DVRPTW). For more details, see this paper "Necula, R., Breaban, M., & Raschip, M.: Tackling Dynamic ...
