The evolutionary history of division of labour.
Functional specialization, or division of labour (DOL), of parts within organisms and colonies is common in most multi-cellular, colonial and social organisms, but it is far from ubiquitous. Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain the evolutionary origins of DOL; the basic feature common to all of them is that functional differences can arise easily. These mechanisms cannot explain the...
متن کاملAn Evolutionary Perspective on Self-Organized Division of Labor in Social Insects
Division of labor is a complex phenomenon observed throughout nature. Theoretical studies have focused either on its emergence through selforganization mechanisms or on its adaptive consequences. We suggest that the interaction of self-organization, which undoubtedly characterizes division of labor in social insects, and evolution should be further explored. We review the factors empirically sh...
متن کاملYawning: An Evolutionary Perspective
Evolutionary analyses of human behavior have illuminated a number of fundamental questions (i.e., foraging, mating systems, communication, etc.), and a wide array of behaviors have been targeted for investigation (infanticide, polygyny, child abuse, homicide, etc.). In general, investigation has centered on complex behaviors organized into broader functional units based on their context, or in ...
متن کاملdevelopment and implementation of an optimized control strategy for induction machine in an electric vehicle
in the area of automotive engineering there is a tendency to more electrification of power train. in this work control of an induction machine for the application of electric vehicle is investigated. through the changing operating point of the machine, adapting the rotor magnetization current seems to be useful to increase the machines efficiency. in the literature there are many approaches wh...
15 صفحه اولDivision of Labour in Self-organised Groups
In social insect colonies, many tasks are performed by higherorder entities, such as groups and teams whose task solving capacities transcend those of the individual participants. In this paper, we investigate the emergence of such higher-order entities using a colony of up to 12 physical robots. We report on an experimental study in which the robots engage in a range of different activities, i...
