You've likely not heard of the term myrmecophily. Literally meaning ant love, it refers to ants' bonds with other organisms.

Ants coordinate highly complex foraging and traffic systems without any leaders, relying entirely on local interactions and chemical cues. Pheromone trails encode information about distance, food ...

A few months ago, I awoke to find a streak spanning the length of my kitchen wall that looked like it had been drawn there with thick black crayon. This was confounding, given that I live alone, save ...

The trade-off between quality and quantity is a fundamental economic dilemma. Now, a team of British, American, and Japanese researchers describes how it applies to biology, as well. They have ...

Go program that implements max flow and Dijkstra's algorithms to find the fastest way to move N amount of ants from the room A to the room B aka solve ants colony optimization problem Go library and ...

This repository implements several swarm optimization algorithms and visualizes them. Implemented algorithms: Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Firefly Algorithm (FA), Cuckoo Search (CS), Ant Colony ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Ants are some of nature’s most selfless animals. They practice ...

Biologist E.O. Wilson once wrote that "ants are the most warlike of all animals," noting that clashes between ant colonies dwarfed the human battles at Waterloo and Gettysburg. But sometimes ant ...

Abstract: The capacitated electric vehicle routing problem (CEVRP) has drawn much attention from researchers in the recent decade against the background of the rising electric transportation industry.

Ants are many things. They're hard workers and intensely social. They're quite strong for their size. And now they may also be a source of architectural inspiration too — for designing spaces that ...

Abstract: HCMOP are widespread in practical engineering such as vehicle routing problem and shop scheduling problem etc. The problems introduced above refer to optimization problems with complex ...
