- W71300746 abstract "In this review the results of long-term studies of ant cognition and communication by means of an information theory approach are summarised, and perspectives for further research are outlined. The main idea of the information theory approach is that experimenters ask ants to transfer to each other a specific amount of information in order to obtain food. In the experiments I describe, the information to be transferred by ants concerns a sequence of turns in the maze binary tree in one series of experiments, and the number of a branch in comb-like counting mazes in the other series. This method first of all reveals distant homing in ants, that is, their ability to transfer information about remote events. Firstly, it was experimentally demonstrated that in red wood ants and in Formica sanguinea LATREILLE, 1798 distant homing is based on a scout-foragers recruitment system: ants work in constant teams, and a scout shares the information on the discovered food only with members of its team. Then, important characteristics of the ants' communication and cognition were evaluated, such as the rate of information transmission, and the potential flexibility of communication systems. Group-retrieving Formica species were shown to be able to grasp regularities, to use them for coding and compression of information, and to add and subtract small numbers to optimise their messages. These intellectual skills can be considered specific cognitive adaptations to the particular architecture of the species' foraging environment. The proposed quantitative method can serve as a universal experimental paradigm for objective investigations of communication and cognition in ants and other highly social animals." @default.
