Spatial organization and interactions of harvester ants during foraging activity.
Local interactions, when individuals meet, can regulate collective behaviour. In a system without any central control, the rate of interaction may depend simply on how the individuals move around. But interactions could in turn influence movement; individuals might seek out interactions, or their movement in response to interaction could influence further interaction rates. We develop a general...
متن کاملNorth American Seed-harvester Ants
■ Abstract Seed-harvester ants are a dominant and conspicuous insect group throughout arid portions of the southwestern United States and northern Mexico, and they include ∼75 species. Intense study in the late 1970s and early 1980s led to the paradigm that interspecific competition for limited seed resources is the primary factor that structures seed-harvester ant communities. This review atte...
متن کاملGenetic caste determination in Pogonomyrmex harvester ants
Division of labour between reproductive queens and sterile workers is a hallmark of insect societies and an important component of their ecological success (Hölldobler & Wilson, 1990). In ants and other social Hymenoptera forming large and complex societies, reproductive division of labour is generally associated with marked morphological differences between the queen and worker castes. These d...
متن کاملChange Point Estimation in High Yield Processes in the Presence of Serial Correlation
Change point estimation is as an effective method for identifying the time of a change in production and service processes. In most of the statistical quality control literature, it is usually assumed that the quality characteristic of interest is independently and identically distributed over time. It is obvious that this assumption could be easily violated in practice. In this paper, we use m...
متن کاملSpatial Point Processes
Property (iv) is called boundedly finite. So, when we use (iv) instead of (iii), we are interested in simple, boundedly finite spatial point processes with no fixed atoms. When we use (iii), the domain A can be an arbitrary set. When we use (iv), the domain A must have some notion of boundedness. This is no problem when A is a subset of Rd for some d. We just use the usual notion of boundedness...
