Characteristics of thermal processes in ant nests built under stones (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

Ants prefer to nest under stones. This is due to temperature regimes favorable to the development of ant broods. In this paper, we investigated the influence of stone and ambient parameters on ant nests and created a model of thermal processes in ant nests under stones. The simulation results were...
