Do aphids actively search for ant partners?
The aphid-ant mutualistic relationships are not necessarily obligate for neither partners but evidence is that such interactions provide them strong advantages in terms of global fitness. While it is largely assumed that ants actively search for their mutualistic partners namely using volatile cues; whether winged aphids (i.e., aphids' most mobile form) are able to select ant-frequented areas h...
متن کاملActively Mining Search Logs for Diverse Tags
Social tagging has become a very important mechanism for organizing information on the Web. Usually, people tag a web page manually, just as what they do on a social bookmarking web site. In this paper, we will demonstrate a brand-new perspective tagging web pages automatically by mining search logs. In order to keep diversity, we first classify web queries into different categories and then ex...
متن کاملOld and new symbiotic partners in lachnine aphids.
The relationship between aphids and their bacterial symbiont, Buchnera aphidicola, is a central model for maternally transmitted symbiosis characterized by long-term evolutionary co-diversification of partners and by genome reduction of the bacterial symbiont. In one clade of aphids, the subfamily Lachninae, genome reduction of Buchnera is extreme and aphid hosts often have adopted additional m...
متن کاملUnique haplotypes in ant-attended aphids and widespread haplotypes in non-attended aphids
Aphid species within the genus Tuberculatus Mordvilko (Hemiptera: Aphididae) exhibit a variety of interactions with ants, ranging from close associations to non-attendance. A previous study indicated that despite wing possession, ant-attended Tuberculatus species exhibited low dispersal rates compared with non-attended species. This study examined if presence or absence of mutualistic interacti...
متن کاملANT COLONY SEARCH METHOD IN PRACTICAL STRUCTURAL OPTIMIZATION
This paper is concerned with application and evaluation of ant colony optimization (ACO) method to practical structural optimization problems. In particular, a size optimum design of pin-jointed truss structures is considered with ACO such that the members are chosen from ready sections for minimum weight design. The application of the algorithm is demonstrated using two design examples with pr...
