About this document
The Formation of Spatial Patterns in Social Insects - From Simple Behaviours To Complex Structures PDF by Mati dell'Erba is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Many of the collective activities performed by social insects result in the formation of complex spatio-temporal patterns. Patterns produced by a colony are not explicitly coded at the individual level, but rather emerge from nonlinear interactions between individuals or between individuals and their environment. Without centralized control, workers are able to work together and collectively tackle tasks far beyond the abilities of any one individual.
