متن کاملSeasonality in communication and collective decision-making in ants.
The ability of animals to adjust their behaviour according to seasonal changes in their ecology is crucial for their fitness. Eusocial insects display strong collective behavioural seasonality, yet the mechanisms underlying such changes are poorly understood. We show that nest preference by emigrating Temnothorax albipennis ant colonies is influenced by a season-specific modulatory pheromone th...
متن کاملNoise improves collective decision-making by ants in dynamic environments.
Recruitment via pheromone trails by ants is arguably one of the best-studied examples of self-organization in animal societies. Yet it is still unclear if and how trail recruitment allows a colony to adapt to changes in its foraging environment. We study foraging decisions by colonies of the ant Pheidole megacephala under dynamic conditions. Our experiments show that P. megacephala, unlike many...
متن کاملCollective Decision-Making in Honey Bee Foraging Dynamics
We consider a bee colony as dynamical system gathering information from an environment and adjusting its behaviour in accordance to it. Intelligent decisionmaking emerges from enhancing the level of communication among the individuals. Since the foragers communicate information about the environment to the nest, the latter means enhancing the coupling level of colony and environment. When indiv...
متن کاملPersonality and collective decision-making in foraging herbivores.
The mechanisms by which group-living animals collectively exploit resources, and the role of individuals in group decisions, are central issues for understanding animal distribution patterns. We investigated the extent to which boldness and shyness affect the distribution of social herbivores across vegetation patches, using sheep as a model species. Using an experimental and a theoretical appr...
