  • Animal groups are known to function near a critical point, where small cues can trigger a large-scale collective response. This study shows experimental demonstration of peak response in a critically-poised group, by applying ant-scale forces to P. longicornis ants as they cooperatively carry food.

  • Group conformity is crucial for collective behaviours, but may decrease overall responsiveness to external cues. Here the authors show that load-carrying ant groups function at a transition between ballistic and random motions, where the influence of informed individuals is maximized.

  • The computational capability of the brain remains a mystery. Some insight might come from a series of experiments in which cultures of living neurons are patterned in a way to form functional logic devices.

  • While the organization of ants within their nest is key for colony function, it remains unknown how ants navigate this dark subterranean environment. Here, Heymanet al. use a series of behavioral tests, chemical analyses, and machine learning to identify chemical landmarks that ants use to distinguish between nest areas.

  • Quantification of the behavioural phenotype of animals within a group requires simultaneous position and identity tracking of multiple individuals. Here the authors report an automated tracking system that combines video- and RFID-tracking data and allows behavioural phenotyping of uniquely identified group-living animals.

  • Evidence that ants communicate mechanically to move objects several times their size has prompted a theory that places the group near a transition between uncoordinated and coordinated motion. These findings and their implications are reviewed here.
