Error, communication and learning in ant societies
When large food sources are discovered, many species recruit using different mechanisms. Numerous recruits do not reach the food source and explore the foraging area. These ants make new discoveries. The interplay between communication and exploration generates collective and efficient structures. This organisation is discussed in relation to the mechanisms of recruitment, quality and degree of aggregation of food-sources and territorial marking. This first organization, characteristic of large colonies, is compared to another foraging organisation: small societies of deterministic and specialised foragers rarely communicating together.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
