In this lecture, we continue to discuss the different ways to search for and process information from the environment in distributed architectures in nature. Whereas the last lecture focused on nonlinear recruitment strategies (and more generally strategies focused on trail laying and external memory), this lecture focusses on linear recruitment strategies such as the honeybee waggle dance (and piping transition in the case of nest-site selection) and the ant tandem run (and transition to transport in the case of nest-site selection). After demonstrating the waggle dance, the tandem run, and the differences between individual and group performance in decision-making tasks, the lecture closes discussing different mechanistic models for how individual ants decide when to transition from tandem run to transport.
DUE TO TECHNICAL ISSUES IN THE ROOM, there are small parts of this lecture where the audio or video will drop out.
