The Collective Power of Bacteria as a Blueprint for Emergent Intelligence
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Small cells, powerful collectives. Bacteria demonstrate how sophisticated behaviors can emerge from many simple individuals working together. We explore the remarkable world of bacterial communities and the mechanisms that underpin their complex emergent behaviors, enabling impressive adaptability, robustness, and responsiveness to changing ...

Multi-Robot Item Delivery and Foraging: Two Sides of a Coin
Robotics, 2015 Multi-robot foraging has been widely studied in the literature, and the general assumption is that the robots are simple, i.e., with limited processing and carrying capacity.

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Germany's Renewable Energy Sources Act (REA), enacted in 2000 and subsequently amended, subsidized national renewable energy production with fixed feed‐in tariffs for renewable energy sources (RE) from wind, solar, and biogas. Empirical studies suggest that the policy was creating windfall effects for landowners and attribute farmland use ...

A Multiscale Review of Behavioral Variation in Collective Foraging Behavior in Honey Bees
Insects, 2019 The emergence of collective behavior from local interactions is a widespread phenomenon in social groups. Previous models of collective behavior have largely overlooked the impact of variation among individuals within the group on collective dynamics ...

The optimization of cooperative bacterial foraging
, 2009 Bacterial Foraging Optimization (BFO) is a novel optimization algorithm based on the social foraging behavior of E coli bacteria This paper presents a variation on the original BFO algorithm, namely the Cooperative Bacterial Foraging Optimization (CBFO),

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Climate change is altering the timing of many plant phenological events, yet most studies focus on flowering, with less attention given to later reproductive stages such as fruit development and ripening. Vaccinium angustifolium (lowbush blueberry) is an important perennial berry species that may be sensitive to these changes.

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise The soil depth of underground storage organs (USOs) of geophytes involves cost–benefit trade‐offs and may relate to USO age, size, and disturbances such as fire and herbivory. Yet determinants of USO depth are poorly studied. We posit that belowground mammalian predation of USOs is a selective force for the positive relationship ...

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise The study of the early stages of divergence between populations is crucial to understanding how species and biodiversity originate. Geographic distributions that capture some aspects of the process of divergence, such as those that are markedly U‐shaped, could offer a window to identify systems undergoing incipient speciation, which ...
