Self-organized structures in a superorganism: do ants "behave" like molecules? (2006, background): “In this respect, a tuning of noise and of motion patterns depending on food nature allows foragers to adjust in fine the spatial distribution of the search effort and/or the food exploitation to that of available resources [80,101].”
Offshore diplomacy, or how seabirds mitigate intra-specific competition: a case study based on GPS tracking of Cape gannets from neighbouring colonies (2004, background): “In such cases they are thought to be related to the intrinsic dynamics of group-foraging (Boinski & Garber 2000, Portha et al. 2002).”
The biological principles of swarm intelligence (2007, background): “The nutrient demand of the colony can modify the behavior of scout ants and can result in an adjustment of the harvesting strategy in the ant Lasius niger (Portha et al., 2002, 2004).”
TEMPORAL AND SPATIAL VARIATION TO ANT OMNIVORY IN PINE FORESTS (2005, background): “This variation may have been driven by differences in arthropod community composition, in the nutritional needs of ant colonies of varying ages, or in the abiotic conditions within which colonies were situated (Portha et al. 2002, Sanders and Gordon 2002).”
Individual and collective foraging decisions: a field study of worker recruitment in the gypsy ant Aphaenogaster senilis (2009, background): “2005), amount, type, and distribution of food (Breed et al. 1987; Detrain and Deneubourg 1997; Portha et al. 2002; Mailleux et al. 2003; Johnson et al. 2003; Cogni and Oliveira 2004), and temperature (Cerdá et al.”
Measuring the trophic ecology of ants using stable isotopes (2006, background): “Ant diets may vary both within and among seasons in relation to colony size, life cycle, and periods of brood production (Horstmann, 1972; Portha et al., 2002).”
