A first mathematical model of brood sorting by ants: Functional self-organization without swarm-intelligence

Brood sorting, observed in Leptothorax unifasciatus ant colonies, is a major example of social insects ability to solve problems at the collective level. Two processes characterize this phenomenon: a process of aggregation of all items in a single cluster, coupled with a process of segregation of it...
