Ants get stuck in traffic jams and resolve them by making adaptive decisions

This study examines ant traffic dynamics during nest relocation, finding that narrow paths cause frequent jams resolved by adaptive decisions from returning leaders.

Marching with ants to a new nest

This paper reviews the relocation behavior of Diacamma indicum ants, analyzing colony composition, nest architecture, and pathfinding strategies in both natural and lab settings.

Intraspecific competition for a nest and its implication for the fitness of relocating ant colonies

This study examines how ant colonies compete for a new nest during relocation, finding that larger colonies outcompete smaller ones, leading to higher mortality and reduced fitness.

Cryptic functional diversity in ant tandem runs

This study identifies functional differences in tandem running between two ant genera by analyzing recruitment networks and information flow.
