“…Only a small number of species have been recorded from Nepal for several hyperdiverse taxa, Bharti et al (2016) presented hyperdiverse taxa, such as Pheidole, Camponotus, and Crematogaster indicating that actual richness has not yet been determined. However, because many ant species have only been identified up to a generic level (Neupane & Subedi 2018, Adhikari et al 2020a, the known diversity of ants is incomplete both at the provincial and national levels.…”

Nepal, a part of the Himalayan biodiversity hotspot, has a high diversity of habitat and species. Its myrmecofaunal diversity and distribution, however, is little understood. Here, I summarize the provincial distribution of all named species of ants for the seven provinces of Nepal through a literature review and examination of materials available at museum and private collections. The distribution of Nepalese ants in each province reveals that Bagmati province has the highest known generic and species richness with 37 genera and 93 species, followed by Gandaki (32, 68), Province 1 (27, 55), Sudurpashchim (15, 15), Lumbini (12, 13), Madhesh (9, 11), and Karnali (5, 5). The four of the seven provinces, Sudurpashchim, Karnali, Lumbini, and Madhesh have been significantly under sampled in the country in terms of documented species richness. Although the figures cannot accurately represent the real species richness of each province, I hope that by highlighting the research gaps, it will encourage further investigation.

“…The flow overtime problem having zero transit times that reached to each of the pickup locations determines the maximum number of evacuees at every possible time instance from the beginning in the evacuee collection sub-network as in [4] and in [15]. That the earliest arrival evacuees at such pickup locations Y from the source s with zero transit times on the transformed network follows the principle of temporary repeated flows which is equivalent to the solution with arc reversal capability on the original network.…”

Traffic route guidance, destination optimization, and optimal route choice are some of the approaches to accelerate the evacuation process of transit-based evacuation problems. Their effectiveness depends upon the evacuee arrival patterns at the pickup locations and their assignment in an appropriate way to the resources in the network. The arrival patterns of the evacuees at different pickup locations might be a constant or random variable, deterministic or stochastic, time-dependent, or flow-dependent, or can be categorized either way. In this work, we are focused on the collections of evacuees at the pickup locations from the danger zone in the earliest arrival flow patterns, which can be further assigned to the transit vehicles in the integrated evacuation network by treating such pickup locations as the sources for the subsequent process to minimize the overall network clearance time from the danger zone to the safety.

“…The performance and efficiency of the strategies for evacuation planning problems depend upon the nature of the road network, population density, the behavior of the population, and many other factors. It concentrates mainly to find the optimal use of vehicles and their appropriate assignment on the available network during their shifting from danger zones to safety as effectively as possible with utmost reliability, Adhikari (2018), andAdhikari (2020).…”

The selection of dominant routes for transit-based evacuation planning problems mainly depends upon the structure and nature of the available network. To achieve efficient evacuation planning, the problem is not only on the selection of a route and a shelter for each route on the available network topology but also on the route-to-vehicle assignment and vice versa, which is more complex and challenging in real practice. The evacuation network adds complexity to the solution and impacts the problem. In this paper, the transit-based evacuation network has been revised from different perspectives focusing on the symmetric type networks with their dominant evacuation planning routes to have the minimum evacuation cost.
