The Economics of Optimal Foraging by the Red Imported Fire Ant [PDF]

Environmental Entomology, 2020
Abstract For social organisms, foraging is often a complicated behavior where tasks are divided among numerous individuals. Here, we ask how one species, the red imported fire ant (Solenopsis invicta Buren) (Hymenoptera: Formicidae), collectively manages this behavior.
