Influence of the level of polyandry and genetic architecture on division of labour

Dario Floreano, Laurent Keller

Genetic diversity is thought to be a main factor in determin ing task performance and behavioral plasticity of social insect colonies. This diversity has two main causes. a) Multiple matings by the colony queen (polyandry) and b) the number of regions on t ...

Division of labour and colony efficiency in social insects: effects of interactions between genetic architecture, colony kin structure and rate of perturbations

Dario Floreano, Laurent Keller, Stéphane Magnenat, Markus Waibel

The efficiency of social insect colonies critically depends on their ability to efficiently allocate workers to the various tasks which need to be performed. While numerous models have investigated the mechanisms allowing an efficient colony response to ex ...

Role of extra-polymeric substances (EPS) on the microbial activity in unsaturated porous media

Dani Or

Microbes form colonies to pool resources and better cope with changes in environmental conditions including nutrient availability and hydration status. The excretion of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) plays an important role in forming colony stru ...

Tissu numérique cellulaire à routage et configuration dynamiques

Yann Thoma

In the design of new machines or in the development of new concepts, mankind has often observed nature, looking for useful ideas and sources of inspiration. The design of electronic circuits is no exception, and a considerable number of realizations have d ...
