A (still growing) paper list of Evolutionary Computation (EC) published in some (rather all) top-tier (and also EC-focused) journals and conferences. For EC-focused publications, only ...
However, in some ants colony germlines are also determined earlier, in the embryonic (egg) stage, begging the question whether that makes somatization of workers as irreversible as somatization of ...
“It will lay down a pheromone trail that the other ants can follow back to the food source.” Like wasps and bees, ants are social and live in a colony with one or more queens. That means the workers ...
Beetles are an evolutionary success, with rove beetles' diversification largely due to their unique tergal gland that synthesizes defensive chemicals. This adaptation, evolving over millions of years, ...
The journey of Larry Page and Saji Bryn and their team, of ‘Google’ fame, from a garage project, to a technological giant, is an even more spectacular illustration of what team work can do.
Researchers have discovered that in a foraging ant’s search for food, it will leave pheromone trails connecting its colony to multiple food sources when they are available, successfully creating ...
Most ants have two morphologically differentiated adult castes - queens and workers - each irreversibly specialized for either reproduction or nonreproductive altruism such as foraging, defense and ...
