Scout-initiated group raiding in ants is an incredibly rich collective behavior that can now be studied in the lab. Exciting new @biorxivpreprint from our lab @RockefellerUniv with @VChandra_ & @asafffgal biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. (1/8)
Scout-initiated group raids are stereotyped in the sequence of events, but there is interesting variation in the length of some phases. Lots of cool collective decision making and navigation as well. @biorxiv_evobio @biorxiv_neursci @biorxiv_ecology. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… (2/8)
Turns out that group raiding is the evolutionary precursor of army ant mass raiding, one of the most spectacular collective phenomena out there. However, we actually know very little about how collective behavior evolves mechanistically in any animal group. (3/8)
