Ant societies rely on precise recognition systems to maintain cooperation, but new research reveals that these systems are more adaptable than once believed. For ants, quickly telling friend from foe ...

In this video, I raised a queen trap-jaw ant into an entire ant colony and simulated real-world events to observe the ants' reactions. The unexpected ending sets the stage for another video. #ants ...

Abstract: This paper introduces a hybrid optimization method that integrates Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) to improve the tuning of ...

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 ...

Nigel Andrew is an editor of Austral Ecology and subject editor (Zoology) for PeerJ. He played no part in the double-blind peer-review process of the Austral Ecology research paper this article draws ...

A rare Japanese ant is the only species known to lack female workers and males; all of its young develop into parasitic queens that try to take over other colonies. When you purchase through links on ...

An ant that can turn carbon dioxide in the air into dolomite stone in its exoskeleton may hold clues to how humans can sequester greenhouse gases to avert climate disaster. Fungus-farming ants forage ...

In a rare example of biological altruism, sick young ants appear to deliberately signal for their own death to protect the rest of their colony from a deadly disease, new research finds. According to ...
