Non-stationary aging dynamics in ant societies.
In recent experiments by Richardson et al. (2010) [Richardson, T.O., Robinson, E.J.H., Christensen, K., Jensen, H.J., Franks, N.R., Sendova-Franks, A.B., 2010. PLoS ONE 5, e9621.] ant motion out of the nest is shown to be a non-stationary process intriguingly similar to the dynamics encountered in physical aging of glassy systems. Specifically, exit events can be described as a Poisson process ...
متن کاملDisease Dynamics in a Specialized Parasite of Ant Societies
Coevolution between ant colonies and their rare specialized parasites are intriguing, because lethal infections of workers may correspond to tolerable chronic diseases of colonies, but the parasite adaptations that allow stable coexistence with ants are virtually unknown. We explore the trade-offs experienced by Ophiocordyceps parasites manipulating ants into dying in nearby graveyards. We used...
متن کاملRisk adjustment in aging societies
BACKGROUND In Switzerland, age is the predominant driver of solidarity transfers in risk adjustment (RA). Concerns have been voiced regarding growing imbalances in cost sharing between young and old insured due to demographic changes (larger fraction of elderly >65 years and rise in average age). Particularly young adults aged 19-25 with limited incomes have to shoulder increasing solidarity bu...
متن کاملPublic goods dilemma in asexual ant societies.
Cooperation in biological, social, and economic groups is underpinned by public goods that are generated by group members at some personal cost. Theory predicts that public goods will be exploited by cheaters who benefit from the goods by not paying for them, thereby leading to the collapse of cooperation. This situation, described as the "public goods dilemma" in game theory, makes the ubiquit...
