An agent-based model of collective nest choice by the ant Temnothorax albipennis (2005, result): “These complicated behavioural rules are in stark contrast to the 'simple rules of thumb' often proposed to explain aggregation of insect groups (Deneubourg et al. 2002; Jeanson et al. 2004) and collective decision making by insect societies (Detrain & Deneubourg 2002).”
Self-organized structures in a superorganism: do ants "behave" like molecules? (2006, background): “By doing so, scouts help recruits to climb the pheromone gradient, reduce the percentage of lost recruits and ultimately they facilitate cooperation in the exploitation and the defense of the best available food resources [100] or nesting sites [73,74].”
Self-organized aggregation in cockroaches (2005, background): “In other contexts, this modulation of individual behaviour might lead to the collective selection of a common aggregation site (Deneubourg et al. 2002; Jeanson et al. 2004a).”
