Abstract:

The focus of this thesis paper is to study the impact the number of ants has on the found solution of the Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) metaheuristic when solving the Traveling Salesman Problem. The goal was to find out how the length of the computed tours change for different amounts of ants within a limited number of iterations. To study this, three well known versions of the ACO algorithm were implemented and tested: Min-Max Ant System (MMAS), Elitist Ant System (EliteAS) and Ranked Ant System (RankedAS). The results showed trends that were consistent over several test cases. EliteAS and Ra

Abstract:

Loss is a fundamental part of the human experience, from the loss of security and innocence that comes with the necessary separation of child from parent to the ultimate loss of life. Along the way, there are the losses of jobs, of incomes, of homes; the losses of friendships, of family members, of lovers; the losses of direction, of control, of hope. As cognitive and caring beings, humans struggle to cope with these losses, to greater and lesser degrees of success. This is the theme at the heart of this thesis.

Les remarquables capacités de navigation des insectes nous prouvent à quel point ces " mini-cerveaux " peuvent produire des comportements admirablement robustes et efficaces dans des environnements complexes. En effet, être capable de naviguer de façon efficace et autonome dans un environnement parfois hostile (désert, forêt tropicale) sollicite l'intervention de nombreux processus cognitifs impliquant l'extraction, la mémorisation et le traitement de l'information spatiale préalables à une prise de décision locomotrice orientée dans l'espace.

Abstract:

In social insects, foraging is often cooperative, and so requires considerable organisation. In most ants, organisation is a bottom-up process where decisions taken by individuals result in emergent colony level patterns. Individuals base their decisions on their internal state, their past experience, and their environment. By depositing trail pheromones, for example, ants can alter the environment, and thus affect the behaviour of their nestmates. The development of emergent patterns depends on both how individuals affect the environment, and how they react to changes in the environment. Chap

Abstract:

Group living is a widely adopted strategy by many organisms and given the advantages offered by a social lifestyle, such as increased protection from predators or increased ability for resource exploitation, a wide variety of animals have adopted a social lifestyle. Arguably none have done this more successfully than the social insects. Indeed their efficient division of labour is often cited as a key attribute for the remarkable ecological and evolutionary success of these societies. Within the social insects the most obvious division of labour is reproductive, in which one or a few individua

Abstract:

The importance of ants as elements in cave ecology has been mostly unrecognized. A global list of ant species recorded from caves, compiled from a review of existing literature, is presented. This paper also reviews what is currently known about ants occurring in Arizona ( USA) caves. The diversity and distribution represented in these records suggests ants are relatively common cave visitors (trogloxenes). A general utilization of caves by ants within both temperate and tropical latitudes may be inferred from this combined evidence. Observations of ant behavior in Arizona caves demonstrate a

Social Hymenopterans such as bees, wasps and ants have developed sophisticated and effective communication among nestmates. Their remarkable ability to perform certain task such as in navigation suggests that these animals are able to learn and process the information they have gathered. Here, I test for such abilities in tandem running recruitment whereby an informed ant leads a na'ive ant to a resource and tactile cues are used by the follower ants to prompt the leader ants to move forward after a pause. The experiments presented here show that in addition to tactile signals being used, chem

Abstract:

As flower visitors, ants rarely benefit a plant, commonly disrupting pollination by deterring other flower visitors, or stealing nectar. This thesis examines three aspects of ant-flower interactions, focusing on the occurrence of floral traits that prevent disruption of pollination and a novel means by which ants may influence pollinator behaviour. To assess which types of plant species possess ant-repelling floral traits I carried out a survey of 49 Neotropical plant species. Around a third of these species were repellent to the common generalist ant Camponotus novograndensis (Formicinae). Th

This thesis covers the design of an interactive 3D video game with certain unique features and demonstrates the design through a prototype implementation. Insect characters are modeled after human characters and set in a game story. The ants in the game behave similar to leaf-cutter ants. A 3D game environment based on a real ant colony nest is created and used for prototyping the game. Insect behavior based on behavior of real ants is implemented in an interactive 3D environment. The cinematic scenes and the trailer of the game are created to present the game story.

Abstract:

Field trials were conducted in 1988 to evaluate the effectiveness of Steinernema (=Neoaplectana) carpocapsae (Weiser) in controlling the fire ant. Infective juveniles (IJ) of the nematode were applied as drench on 235 and 422 mounds, respectively for 2-month summer and 6-week fall evaluation periods. In comparative trials, amidinohydrazone (Amdro) was applied to 249 (summer) and 65 (fall) active mounds, with 245 (summer) and 78 (fall) untreated active as controls. Nematode treatments resulted in an average of 47% control (Abbott's formula) in summer trials and 19-88% control in the fall trials

Abstract:

Phenotypic plasticity is the ability for a single genotype to give rise to alternative adaptive phenotypes in response to environmental conditions facilitating their survival. In some cases, environmental conditions can influence the course of development of an organism, leading to the induction of novel phenotypic variation, the raw materials for selection in evolution. Although this fact has the potential to unify the disparate fields of ecology, development and evolution, we have only begun to investigate the underlying molecular mechanisms that translate the environment into phenotypic div

Thesis: M. Eng., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2015.<br>Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.<br>Includes bibliographical references (page 105).<br>In 2012, Feinerman et al. introduced the Ants Nearby Treasure Search (ANTS) problem [1]. In this problem, k non-communicating agents with unlimited memory, initially located at the origin, try to locate a treasure distance D from the origin. They show that if the agents know k, then the treasure can be located in the optimal O(D+ D²/k) steps. Furthermore, they show that without kno
