11 In animal societies, individuals may take on different roles to fulfil their own needs 12 and the needs of their groups. Ant colonies display high levels of organisational 13 complexity, with ants fulfilling different roles at different timescales (what is known as task 14 allocation ). Factors affecting task allocation can be at the individual level (e.g., 15 physiology), or at the group level (e.g., interaction histories). In this work, we focus on 16 group level processes by exploring the impact of the history of interaction networks on 17 task allocation and task switching using a previously published dataset (Mersch et al., 18 2013) tracking the behaviour of six Camponotus fellah colonies over 41 days. First, we 19 investigated the architecture of interaction networks using node (individual) level network 20 measures and their relation to the individual’s task – foraging, cleaning or nursing – and 21 whether or not the ant switched tasks. We then explored how noisy information 22 propagation is among ants, as a function of the colony composition (how many ants are 23 2 carrying out which tasks), through the information-theoretic metric of effective information. 24 Our results show that interaction history affected task allocation, with ants more likely to 25 switch to a task if they had interacted with other ants carrying out that task. The degree 26 to which interaction history affected task allocation, as well as the noise in their 27 interactions, depended on which groups of ants are interacting. Overall, we showed that 28 colony cohesion is stable even as ant-level network measures vary more for ants when 29 they switched functional groups; thus ant colonies maintain a high level of information 30 flow as determined by network analysis and ant functional groups play different roles in 31 maintaining colony cohesion. 32
