Recommendations

• Two-category model of task allocation with application to ant societies
• Dynamical models of task organization in social insect colonies
• Dynamics of task allocation in social insect colonies: scaling effects of colony size versus work activities
• Task-partitioning in insect societies: non-random direct material transfers affect both colony efficiency and information flow
• Stochastic spatial model for the division of labor in social insects
