Task Allocation of Wasps Governed by Common Stomach: A Model Based on Electric Circuits.
Simple regulatory mechanisms based on the idea of the saturable 'common stomach' can control the regulation of construction behavior and colony-level responses to environmental perturbations in Metapolybia wasp societies. We mapped the different task groups to mutual inductance electrical...
