劳动是一个紧密而动态的过程，它与个人的行为紧密相结合，而工人之间的社会互动将个人的行为与其巢穴的行为融为一体，从而创造了灵活的劳动力通过在社会相互联系的网络中代表个人来反映劳动分工的双重性质，他们非常适合调查机械组织社会生活和劳动分析的基础。我在这里分布了社交昆虫的工作，我总结了劳动分工的新兴本质措施可以剖析个体水平和菌落水平的连通性，以增强我们对劳动分裂的理解，并对昆虫社会的运作方式提供更一致的看法。
Division of labor is an emergent and dynamic process that intimately mingles social dynamics and individual behavior. Individuals engage in work, and social interactions between workers couple an individual’s behavior to that of its nestmates, thereby creating flexible and robust division of labor. Because social networks mirror the dual nature of division of labor by representing the individual in the connected web of the society, they are ideally suited to investigate the mechanistic underpinnings that organize social life and drive division of labor. Network analyses provide a panoply of tools that help shed light on the functional role of network structure, and that, if carefully used and combined with well-designed experiments, can revolutionize our comprehension of the distributed regulation of work in social insects. Here, I summarize the emergent nature of division of labor, lay out caveats of social network analysis and then discuss how a selection of network measures can dissect individual level and colony level connectivity to enhance our understanding of division of labor, and provide a more integrated view of how insect societies function.
