• An Evolutionary Perspective on Self-Organized Division of Labor in Social Insects (2011, background): “…is neural network modeling, which is applied regularly in evolutionary robotics and has offered interesting insights into the evolution of behavioral strategies such as communication and cooperation (Floreano & Keller 2010; Floreano et al. 2007; Mitri et al. 2009, 2011; Perez-Uribe et al. 2003).”
