Fujisawa, Ichinose, and Dobata used simulated robot swarms to study the evolution of pheromone-guided foraging and traffic rules. Interestingly, they showed that in most cases traffic rules evolved before the foraging traits suggesting an important role for regulatory mechanisms in guiding core evolutionary adaptations.
