An agent-based model of collective nest choice by the ant Temnothorax albipennis
Colonies of the ant Temnothorax (formerly Leptothorax) albipennis can collectively choose the best of several nest sites, even when many of the active ants who organize the move visit only one site. Previous studies have suggested that this ability stems from the ants’ strategy of graded commitment to a potential home. On finding a site, an ant proceeds from independent assessment, to recruitin...
متن کاملHow collective comparisons emerge without individual comparisons of the options
Collective decisions in animal groups emerge from the actions of individuals who are unlikely to have global information. Comparative assessment of options can be valuable in decision-making. Ant colonies are excellent collective decision-makers, for example when selecting a new nest-site. Here, we test the dependency of this cooperative process on comparisons conducted by individual ants. We p...
متن کاملA one-dimensional model of trail propagation by army ants
We develop and analyze a model for the swarming behaviour observed in army ants. The model assumes that the ants coordinate their movements by using chemical pheromones as trail markers. The markers continuously evaporate, and are reinforced by new markers laid down by the ants as they move. The motion of the swarm is modelled by a system of partial differential equations (PDEs). The equations ...
متن کاملSymmetry Breaking on Density in Escaping Ants: Experiment and Alarm Pheromone Model
The symmetry breaking observed in nature is fascinating. This symmetry breaking is observed in both human crowds and ant colonies. In such cases, when escaping from a closed space with two symmetrically located exits, one exit is used more often than the other. Group size and density have been reported as having no significant impact on symmetry breaking, and the alignment rule has been used to...
متن کاملCollective cognition in animal groups.
The remarkable collective action of organisms such as swarming ants, schooling fish and flocking birds has long captivated the attention of artists, naturalists, philosophers and scientists. Despite a long history of scientific investigation, only now are we beginning to decipher the relationship between individuals and group-level properties. This interdisciplinary effort is beginning to revea...
