Modularity and connectivity of nest structure scale with colony size

J. S. Miller, E. Wan, S. O'Fallon, N. Pinter-Wollman

The paper examines how nest structure modularity and connectivity scale with colony size in ants, finding that larger colonies have more subdivided and branched nests to mitigate transport challenges.

Individual Learning Phenotypes Drive Collective Cognition

C. N. Cook, N. J. Lemanski, T. Mosqueiro, C. Ozturk, J. Gadau, N. Pinter-Wollman, B. H. Smith

The paper shows that individual learning differences in honey bees influence collective foraging behavior, with mixed phenotypes showing unexpected collective preferences.

The effect of individual learning on collective foraging in honey bees in complex environments

N. J. Lemanski, C. N. Cook, C. Ozturk, B. H. Smith, N. Pinter-Wollman

This study shows that colonies with better-learning individuals are worse at selecting high-quality resources collectively in complex environments.

Comparative genomics identifies putative signatures of sociality in spiders

C. Tong, G. M. Najm, N. Pinter-Wollman, J. N. Pruitt, T. A. Linksvayer

This study identifies genomic signatures of sociality in spiders by comparing social and solitary species, finding expanded gene families and accelerated evolution in social species.

Resting networks and personality predict attack speed in social spiders

E. R. Hunt, B. Mi, R. Geremew, C. Fernandez, B. M. Wong, J. N. Pruitt, N. Pinter-Wollman

The paper examines how resting social network structures and individual boldness traits predict attack speed in social spiders, finding that network position and boldness interact to influence collective predation behavior.

DIVISION OF LABOR INCREASES WITH COLONY SIZE, REGARDLESS OF GROUP COMPOSITION, IN THE SOCIAL SPIDER STEGODYPHUS DUMICOLA

C. M. Wright, J. L. L. Lichtenstein, C. T. Holbrook, G. Najm, J. Pretorius, N. Pinter-Wollman, J. N. Pruitt

The paper shows that division of labor increases with colony size in social spiders, regardless of group composition, similar to eusocial insects.

Multilevel selection in groups of groups

J. N. Pruitt, D. N. Fisher, R. Costa-Pereira, N. Pinter-Wollman

The paper examines multilevel selection in social spider colonies, finding that within-cluster competition and between-cluster selection depend on the number of rival colonies and colony aggressiveness.

Predictors of colony extinction vary by habitat type in social spiders

B. McEwen, J. Lichstenstein, D. Fisher, C. Wright, G. Chism, N. Pinter-Wollman, J. Pruitt

The study examines how environmental factors predict colony extinction in social spiders across different habitats, finding that ant attacks and fungal outbreaks are key drivers in deserts and savannas, respectively.
