Signalling and the evolution of cooperative foraging in dynamic environments. by Colin J Torney, Andrew Berdahl, Iain D Couzin

“…In this work, we examine a seemingly altruistic behaviour, the active recruitment of conspecifics to a food resource through signalling. Here collective, cooperative behaviour may provide highly nonlinear benefits to individuals, since group functionality has the potential to be far greater than the sum of the component parts, for example by enabling the effective tracking of a dynamic resource. …”

Identification and Interpretation of Cultural Landscape Field from the Integral Conservation Perspective by Zhitong LIANG, Yan DU, Haiyan XIA

“…While cultural landscape approaches have gained international traction, their application predominantly focuses on protected areas, rarely addressing critical aspects of integrity assessment, resource selection, or boundary delineation, for which a relational network has yet to be established in the sense of a system. …”

Collective Mapping of Gas Leakages to Determine Safe Routes Using Multi-Robot System by Ronnier Frates Rohrich, Luis Felipe Messias, Jose Lima, Andre Schneider de Oliveira

“…In this study, robot groups act as multiple composite sensors that can move independently according to their assigned functions. Autonomous detection, collective mapping, and collective decision-making of the robots are behaviors bioinspired by the cognitive mechanisms observed in bacterial colonies. …”
