Overview

Extracted from the local paper documentation when available.

Ant colonies regulate collective behavior through interactions among individual workers, creating colony-level physiological processes that are distributed across all individuals. We examine how this distributed physiology emerges from local interactions, neurochemistry, and gene expression patterns. The colony operates as a superorganism in which physiological regulation—metabolism, water...
