Sequential Load Transport in Grass-Cutting Ants (Atta vollenweideri): Maximization of Plant Delivery Rate or Improved Information Transfer? by Jacqueline Röschard, Flavio Roces

“…Based on the “economic-transport hypothesis," sequential transport occurs because of a mismatch between load size and ant body size, and it is therefore considered a way to improve size-matching and so the plant delivery rate. Alternatively, the “information-transfer hypothesis" states that sequential transport improves the information flow during foraging. …”
