For more than 40 years, researchers suspected this species might operate in such an extreme way, but they couldn’t prove it. Now, a new study confirms it. This is the first known ant species made up ...

Using a synchrotron powered CT scanner, the Antscan project created an open-source digital library cataloguing thousands of ...

Ants trapped in amber reveal possible partnerships and parasites, offering a rare glimpse into ecosystems from nearly 100 ...

A rare Japanese ant is the only species known to lack female workers and males; all of its young develop into parasitic queens that try to take over other colonies.

Abstract: Silicon carbide (SiC) power devices offer high switching speeds and power densities but are constrained by significant parasitic inductance and limited thermal dissipation capability.

Researchers studied six pieces of amber containing fossilized ants with other insects nearby revealing an ecosystem in the ...

A new study of amber pieces from the time of the dinosaurs suggests that these perfectly preserved insects can reveal not ...

Tiny insects trapped in amber could tell us a great deal about their roles in past ecosystems: pollinators, parasites, predators, and prey. But how many of the insects preserved alongside each other ...

Researchers have found that some butterfly caterpillars mimic the meticulously timed movements of ants to win their favor and ...

Some butterfly species can’t grow unless they trick ants into taking them home with a complex rhythmic signal.

Finding a caterpillar with rhythm was “mind-blowing,” suggesting it might be a more widespread part of animal communication than thought.
