Understanding how resource limitation and biotic interactions interact across spatial scales
is fundamental to explaining the structure of ecological communities. However, empirical …

Arboreal ants are ecologically important in tropical forests, but there are few studies using
DNA markers to examine their population and colony structure. Colonies of the arboreal …

Creating a routing backbone is a fundamental problem in both biology and engineering. The
routing backbone of the trail networks of arboreal turtle ants (Cephalotes goniodontus) …

In animal groups, spatial heterogeneities shape social contact networks, thereby influencing
the transmission of infectious diseases. Active modifications to the spatial environment could …

Many social animals produce architectures that greatly increase the builder's ability to
survive across environments. For example, the many forms and functions of ant nests …

Spatial constraints from the environment shape the evolution, ecology, and behavior of
many forms of life. To this end, organisms may produce an architectural extended …
