1999
Detrain, C. (Claire) | Deneubourg, J. L. | Pasteels, Jacques M.
"This book provides a synthesis of present research on information processing in insect societies. The last two sections develop different though complementary approaches which either put the stress on the individual complexity of information management or refer to some simplicity of decision rules associated with amplifying phenomena."--BOOK JACKET. "Most scientists are unaware of these different approaches to information management in insect colonies in connection with their social organization. The book will provide a first comprehensive overview of both experimental and theoretical research in this field. Its purpose is to make the reader familiar with the methodology and ways of thinking followed by scientists at the leading edge of the field."--BOOK JACKET. "The book is aimed at postgraduate students and researchers working on social insects and insects that live in groups as well as any reader interested in behavioural ecology, communication and social organization."--BOOK JACKET.
