The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Head-on encounter rates and walking speed of foragers in leaf-cutting ant traffic (2003, background): “The role this information plays in colony foraging success has not been measured, but the importance of such distributed information exchange to various group behaviours (Detrain et al., 1999) and collective structures (Anderson et al., 2002a) is well established in other ant species.”
Teamwork in Self-Organized Robot Colonies (2009, background): “Self-assembly is widely observed in social insects [7], [72].”
Self-Organized Coordinated Motion in Groups of Physically Connected Robots (2007, methodology): “Moreover, swarm robotics aims at exploiting self-organising principles similar to those observed in social insects [ 12 ], [13], [14].”
