Shape transition during nest digging in ants.
Nest building in social insects is among the collective processes that show highly conservative features such as basic modules (chambers and galleries) or homeostatic properties. Although ant nests share common characteristics, they exhibit a high structural variability, of which morphogenesis and underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. We conducted two-dimensional nest-digging experiment...
متن کاملUrban Dynamics Modelling Using Ant Nest Building
Urban dynamics deal with spatial organizations where a great complexity of interactions appears. Social and economic aspects interact and environmental objectives are nowadays a major purpose for sustainable urban development. We propose some generic modelling processes able to face with this complexity, in order to simulate the evolution of the city centers. These organizational centers need a...
متن کاملA computational model of ant nest morphogenesis
The nests of social insects are not only impressive because of their sheer complexity, but also because they are built from much smaller agents whose work is not centrally coordinated. A central question is therefore how this coordination can lead to such large scale structures. In this paper we present an individual based nest construction model from experimentally inspired rules. The coordina...
متن کاملThe nest architecture of the ant, Camponotus socius
The architecture of subterranean nests of the ant Camponotus socius was studied from casts of plaster or metal. Twenty-four such casts are illustrated using stereo pairs of images. After study, plaster casts were dissolved to retrieve the workers embedded in them, providing a census of the ants that excavated the nest. Nests were up to 60 cm deep, and were composed of descending shafts connecti...
متن کاملThe nest architecture of the Florida harvester ant, Pogonomyrmex badius
The architecture of the subterranean nests of the Florida harvester ant, Pogonomyrmex badius, was studied through excavation and casting. Nests are composed of two basic units: descending shafts and horizontal chambers. Shafts form helices with diameters of 4 to 6 cm, and descend at an angle of about 15-20 degrees near the surface, increasing to about 70 degrees below about 50 cm in depth. Supe...
