Log-normal Superstatistics Reveals Statistical Resilience in the Panic Response of Confined Ants
A. Reyes, M. Curbelo, F. Tejera +4
We report the emergence of Log-normal Superstatistics in the collective motion of ants confined in a quasi-2D arena and exposed to a panic-inducing stimulus. A data-driven supersta…

Simple cellular automata to mimic foraging ants submitted to abduction
F. Tejera, E. Altshuler
Many species of ants forage by building up two files: an outbound one moving from the nest to the foraging area, and a nestbound one, returning from it to the nest. Those files are…
