Ants move to improve: colonies of Leptothorax albipennis emigrate whenever they find a superior nest site (2004, background): “Each scout recruits others for only a limited time (Seeley 2003), such that the positive feedback continues only if recruits become recruiters, which happens only for superior sites.”
Modeling and analysis of nest-site selection by honeybee swarms: the speed and accuracy trade-off (2005, methodology): “However, the studies of Seeley and Buhrman (1999, 2001), with subsequent results of Seeley (2003), form the basis for our model of the " oncluster " portion of the nest-site selection process.”
Swarm cognition in honey bees (2007, methodology): “This model was validated using the experiments in Seeley and Buhrman (1999, 2001), Camazine et al. (1999), Seeley (2003) , Seeley and Visscher (2003, 2004a).”
Choosing a home: how the scouts in a honey bee swarm perceive the completion of their group decision making (2003, background): “Moreover, there is the steady attritional process of individuals ceasing to dance, especially for the inferior, non-chosen sites (Camazine et al. 1999; Seeley 2003; Visscher 2003).”
Group decision making in nest-site selection by honey bees (2004, background): “Another important finding in the Seeley (2003) study is that the scout bees showed signs of adjusting their per capita rates of abandonment in relation to the quality of the site that each bee was advertising.”
Quorum sensing by encounter rates in the ant Temnothorax albipennis (2005, background): “Because foragers often unload to many receivers, the possibility remains open that they actually integrate several search intervals (Hart and Ratnieks, 2001; Ratnieks and Anderson, 1999; but see Huang and Seeley, 2003).”
The principles of collective animal behaviour (2006, background): “For example, Camazine et al. (1999), Seeley & Buhrman (2001), Seeley (2003) and Seeley & Visscher (2003) have studied the migration of honey bees and found that they use a similar combination of positive feedback (dancing instead of tandem running) and quorum thresholds (Seeley & Visscher 2004) as…”
Honeybee swarms: how do scouts guide a swarm of uninformed bees? (2005, background): “Even though more than one potential nest site is likely to be discovered by different scouts, and dances advertising several different sites will take place at any one time, the swarm will ultimately decide on one of the nest sites, lift off and fly towards its chosen home (Lindauer 1955; Camazine e”
Consensus decision making in human crowds (2008, background): “Scouts locate potential new sites and their recruiting success is dependent on the quality of the new site (honeybees, A. mellifera: Seeley & Buhrman 1999; Seeley 2003; Seeley & Visscher 2004; ants, L. albipennis: Mallon et al. 2001; Franks et al. 2003).”
An agent-based model of collective nest choice by the ant Temnothorax albipennis (2005, background): “Similar experimental data is also available for honeybee house-hunting (Camazine et al. 1999; Seeley & Buhrman 1999; Seeley & Buhrman 2001; Seeley 2003; Seeley & Visscher 2003, 2004) as well as for certain aspects of the foraging of honeybees (Seeley 1995) and several ant species (Detrain & Deneubou”
