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 ...

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

In a wide range of social species, when an animal is sick, it takes itself away from its group. Ant pupae are unable to move, however, so they've developed a unique mechanism that leads them to ...

For some would-be ant queens, the easiest way to take over a colony is to dupe its worker ants into committing regicide. The scientist E.O. Wilson once wrote that ants are the most warlike of all ...

The scientist E.O. Wilson once wrote that ants are the most warlike of all animals. He said clashes between ant colonies could make great military clashes seem almost small by comparison. Sometimes, ...

Experts discovered an unusual form of regicide in which a parasitic ant queen tricks workers in a colony into turning on their own mother. By Rebecca Dzombak Rebecca Dzombak previously reported on ...

A sneaky, stealthy parasite queen can turn an ant colony against itself. Newly-mated queens of two parasitic ant species have been found to sneak into an ant colony, creep towards the resident ant ...

This video showcases the expansion of a Western Harvester Ant colony over the past 30 days. It documents their lifestyle, including hunting, building shelter, and feeding, while also introducing ...

Introduction: This work presents an adaptive ant colony (AdCO) framework for dynamic task management in heterogeneous Non-Terrestrial Network–Internet of Things (NTN-IoT) systems integrating Unmanned ...

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 ...
