Ant Colonies as Complex Systems
Ant colonies have appealed to our imaginations and challenged our comprehension for hundreds of years. Today they feature in the World Wide Web encyclopaedia, Wikipedia as one of the classic examples of a complex system. However, we are only beginning to understand how ant colonies are organised and it is still not widely appreciated that they represent a very special type of complex system. In this talk, I will explain why ant colonies are a prime model for studying complexity and will discuss with you some of the things we have discovered about ant colonies of the species Temnothorax albipennis 聳 a species that is particularly amenable to studies attempting to link phenomena at the colony (macro-) level to behaviour at the individual (micro-) level.
