社会性的发展创造了群体成员之间信息传递的需求。生活在社会中的昆虫不能表现得好像它们是孤独的;相反,不同群体成员的行动需要整合,以在群体层面上实现理想的结果。个人交换信息的方式在很大程度上取决于社会的规模。小型社会可以依赖于所有的个人都知道需要完成哪些任务以及去哪里,但是一旦群体规模扩大,就很难实现关于殖民地所需的所有任务的全球知识(Deneubbergy等人,1987年)。由大量个体组成的群体不能依赖于所有个体都拥有关于其群体需求的完美信息,而是必须依赖于他们与同伴的互动以及直接从周围环境中获得的信息。其结果是在群体水平上自组织出现适应行为(Camazine et al. 2001)。招聘就是这种自组织行为的一个例子。招募,一个集体术语,用于任何导致特定地点个体数量增加的行为(Deneubleman et al. 1986),对食物来源的研究可能是最广泛的,但招募也发生在建筑物的背景下(例如,Karsai and Penzes 1993; Bonabeau et al. 1998),挖掘(例如,Deneublement和Franks 1995),防御(例如,Millor et al. 1999)和巢址选择(Pratt et al. 2002; Visscher 2007)。内容
The evolution of sociality has created the need for information transfer among group members. Insects that live in societies cannot behave as if they were solitary; rather, actions by different group members need to be integrated to achieve desirable outcomes at the level of the group. The ways in which individuals exchange information depends largely on the size of the society. Small societies can rely on all individuals having knowledge about which tasks need to be done and where to go, but global knowledge about all tasks needed by a colony is much harder to achieve once group size increases (Deneubourg et al. 1987). Groups comprising a large number of individuals cannot rely on all individuals having perfect information about their colony’s needs, but must instead rely on their interactions with their peers as well as information directly obtained from their immediate surroundings. The result is self-organized emergence of adaptive behavior at the group level (Camazine et al. 2001). Recruitment is an example of such self-organized behavior. Recruitment, a collective term for any behavior that results in an increase in the number of individuals at a particular place (Deneubourg et al. 1986), to food sources is probably the most widely studied, but recruitment also occurs in the context of building (e.g., Karsai and Penzes 1993; Bonabeau et al. 1998), excavation (e.g., Deneubourg and Franks 1995), defense (e.g., Millor et al. 1999), and nest site selection (Pratt et al. 2002; Visscher 2007). contents
