Resource redistribution in polydomous ant nest networks: local or global?
2014
Ellis, Samuel | Franks, Daniel W. | Robinson, Elva J.H.
Lay SummaryWood ants nests share resources with neighboring nests, not the whole colony. A single ant colony can either live all in one nest, or split into several separate, but communicating, nests. How and why ant colonies do this is unknown. By treating these separated colonies as networks we show that wood ants exchange food locally, with neighboring nests, without a colony-level plan.
