Colony demographics shape nest construction in Camponotus fellah ants

This study shows that ant colony demographics influence nest construction, with younger ants digging more and creating slanted tunnels, while older ants dig straight down after catastrophic events.

Leaderless consensus decision-making determines cooperative transport direction in weaver ants

This study shows weaver ants use a wisdom of the crowd strategy for cooperative transport, pooling group opinions to improve navigational accuracy.

Emergent regulation of ant foraging frequency through a computationally inexpensive forager movement rule

The paper shows that ant foraging frequency is regulated by a simple movement rule based on food load, without requiring explicit decision-making.

Colony entropy - Allocation of goods in ant colonies

The paper studies food distribution in ant colonies using fluorescence imaging and entropy measures, finding that food spreads widely but mixes only partially due to interaction rules that balance dissemination and mixing efficiency.

Demography and behaviour of polygyne nests of the supercolonial ant Cataglyphis niger: Does kinship matter?

The paper investigates social interactions in polygyne nests of Cataglyphis niger, showing that queens and workers are not necessarily related and workers contribute equally to queen rearing.
