Social Discounting Enables Fast and Reliable Collective Escape
Zachary P Kilpatrick
Solitary animals face a tradeoff when detecting threats: faster detection means accepting more false alarms. We show that groups can manage this tradeoff better by treating an undi…
Stochastic dynamics of social patch foraging decisions
Subekshya Bidari, Ahmed El Hady, Jacob Davidson +1
Animals typically forage in groups. Social foraging can help animals avoid predation and decrease their uncertainty about the richness of food resources. Despite this, theoretical…
Hive geometry shapes the recruitment rate of honeybee colonies
Subekshya Bidari, Zachary P Kilpatrick
Honey bees make decisions regarding foraging and nest-site selection in groups ranging from hundreds to thousands of individuals. To effectively make these decisions bees need to c…
Social inhibition maintains adaptivity and consensus of foraging honeybee swarms in dynamic environments
Subekshya Bidari, Orit Peleg, Zachary P Kilpatrick
To effectively forage in natural environments, organisms must adapt to changes in the quality and yield of food sources across multiple timescales. Individuals foraging in groups a…
Optimizing a jump-diffusion model of a starving forager
Nikhil Krishnan, Zachary P. Kilpatrick
We analyze the movement of a starving forager on a one-dimensional periodic lattice, where each location contains one unit of food. As the forager lands on sites with food, it cons…
