Why do not all workers work? Colony size and workload during emigrations in the ant Temnothorax albipennis (2008, background): “2003), less successful (Jun and Pepper 2003) or collect an equal amount of resource per forager with or without recruitment (Dornhaus et al. 2006).”
Adaptation, Genetic Drift, Pleiotropy, and History in the Evolution of Bee Foraging Behavior (2006, methodology): “In the cited study, 4600 simulation runs were carried out and analyzed (Dornhaus et al., 2006).”
Foraging in honeybees—when does it pay to dance? (2008, background): “The model of Dornhaus et al. (2006) also suggested (based on a sensitivity analysis) that the extent to which a colony benefits from communication depends on the relative success of scouts and recruits locating food patches.”
Bumble bee pollen foraging regulation: role of pollen quality, storage levels, and odor (2009, methodology): “We used this protocol because the level of foraging tends to build up and then stabilize 30 min after foraging stimuli are presented (Dornhaus et al. 2006).”
