The effect of social information on the collective choices of ant colonies (2016)
Journal Article
Burns, D. D., Burns, D., Sendova-Franks, A. B., & Franks, N. R. (2016). The effect of social information on the collective choices of ant colonies. Behavioral Ecology, 27(4), 1033-1040. https://doi.org/10.1093/beheco/arw005

© 2016 The Author. In collective decision making, groups collate social information to inform their decisions. Indeed, societies can gather more information than individuals - so social information can be more reliable than private information. Colon...

Why Welch’s test is Type I error robust (2016)
Journal Article
Derrick, B., Toher, D., & White, P. (2016). Why Welch’s test is Type I error robust. Quantitative Methods for Psychology, 12(1), 30-38

The comparison of two means is one of the most commonly applied statistical procedures in psychology. The independent samples t-test corrected for unequal variances is commonly known as Welch’s test, and is widely considered to be a robust alternativ...

Ants determine their next move at rest: Motor planning and causality in complex systems (2016)
Journal Article
Hunt, E. R., Baddeley, R. J., Worley, A., Sendova-Franks, A. B., & Franks, N. R. (2016). Ants determine their next move at rest: Motor planning and causality in complex systems. Royal Society Open Science, 3(1), 150534. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsos.150534

© 2016 The Authors. To find useful work to do for their colony, individual eusocial animals have to move, somehow staying attentive to relevant social information. Recent research on individual Temnothorax albipennis ants moving inside their colony’s... Read More about Ants determine their next move at rest: Motor planning and causality in complex systems.

Exploration adjustment by ant colonies (2016)
Journal Article
