| summary | Ant colonies operate without central control, using feedback from simple interactions to regulate networks of trails and tunnels. Ant species differ in collective behavior, reflecting diversity in ecology, including the distribution of resources and the rates at which resources are obtained and used. These algorithms have evolved to fit the dynamics of particular environments, including stability, threat of rupture, and energy flow. For example, collective behavior operates differently for ant colonies in the desert, where life is tough but stable, and in the tropical forest, where life is easy but unpredictable. Similar ecological constraints, in many natural systems from cells to ants, may correspond to similar algorithms that regulate collective outcomes. |
