In this paper, we present a model describing the collective motion of birds. The model introduces spontaneous changes in direction which are initialized by few agents, here …
Despite almost a century of research on energetics in biological systems, we still cannot explain energy regulation in social groups, like ant colonies. How do individuals regulate …
Foragers within a group might increase individual foraging efficiencies by using public information to assess local resource availability. This information is often expressed as a …
We present a comprehensive, computational method for tracking an entire colony of the honey bee Apis mellifera using high-resolution video on a natural honeycomb background …
Honey bees make decisions regarding foraging and nest-site selection in groups ranging from hundreds to thousands of individuals. To effectively make these decisions, bees need …
In recent years, the development of efficient numerical methods for the simulation of kinetic dynamics plays an important role. Besides deterministic methods, such as Lagrangian …

Social insect colonies use negative as well as positive feedback signals to regulate foraging behaviour. In ants and bees individual foragers have been observed to use negative …
