  • Individual Versus Collective Cognition in Social Insects
    Individual versus collective cognition in social insects Ofer Feinermanᴥ, Amos Kormanˠ ᴥ Department of Physics of Complex Systems, Weizmann Institute of Science, 7610001, Rehovot, Israel. Email: ofer.feinerman@weizmann.ac.il ˠ Institut de Recherche en Informatique Fondamentale (IRIF), CNRS and University Paris Diderot, 75013, Paris, France. Email: amos.korman@liafa.univ-paris-diderot.fr Abstract The concerted responses of eusocial insects to environmental stimuli are often referred to as collective cognition on the level of the colony.To achieve collective cognitiona group can draw on two different sources: individual cognitionand the connectivity between individuals.Computation in neural-networks, for example,is attributedmore tosophisticated communication schemes than to the complexity of individual neurons. The case of social insects, however, can be expected to differ. This is since individual insects are cognitively capable units that are often able to process information that is directly relevant at the level of the colony.Furthermore, involved communication patterns seem difficult to implement in a group of insects since these lack clear network structure.This review discusses links between the cognition of an individual insect and that of the colony. We provide examples for collective cognition whose sources span the full spectrum between amplification of individual insect cognition and emergent group-level processes. Introduction The individuals that make up a social insect colony are so tightly knit that they are often regarded as a single super-organism(Wilson and Hölldobler, 2009). This point of view seems to go far beyond a simple metaphor(Gillooly et al., 2010)and encompasses aspects of the colony that are analogous to cell differentiation(Emerson, 1939), metabolic rates(Hou et al., 2010; Waters et al., 2010), nutrient regulation(Behmer, 2009),thermoregulation(Jones, 2004; Starks et al., 2000), gas exchange(King et al., 2015), and more.

In total we list 58 species and 26 morphospecies identified to genus or species group level. Ten species are recorded from the country for the first time: Aphaenogaster schmitzi Forel, 1910, Camponotus gestroi Emery, 1878, Camponotus rebeccae Forel, 1913, Crematogaster warburgi Menozzi, 1933, Hypoponera punctatissima (Roger, 1859), Lepisiota bipartita (Smith, 1861), Monomorium luteum Emery, 1881, Monomorium venustum (Smith, 1858), Tapinoma simrothi Krausse, 1911, and Trichomyrmex destructor (Jerdon, 1851). We also recognize 26 morphospecies which determination, due to lack of comprehensive taxonomic studies, is unachievable and some of them can represent species new to science. Furthermore, we list doubtful records of ten taxa: Camponotus aethiops (Latreille, 1798), Cataglyphis bicolor (Fabricius, 1793), Cataglyphis livida (André, 1881), Messor concolor Santschi, 1927, Messor meridionalis (André, 1883), Plagiolepis pallescens maura Santschi, 1920, Tapinoma erraticum (Latreille, 1798), Tapinoma nigerrimum (Nylander, 1856), Temnothorax luteus (Forel, 1874), and Tetramorium caespitum (Linnaeus, 1758), and discuss their possible affiliation with species of documented and certain presence in Jordan. Key words: ants, biogeography, new records, the Middle East.

Body Painting Type Analysis Based on Biomimicry Camouflage. International Journal of Architecture, Arts and Applications. Vol. 6, No. 1, 2020, pp. 1-11. doi: 10.11648/j.ijaaa.20200601.11 Received: November 26, 2019; Accepted: December 20, 2019; Published: January 7, 2020 Abstract: The purpose of this study is to establish a method and find a possible way of applying biomimicry camouflage in body painting. This study seeks a direction for the future of the beauty and art industry through biomimicry. For this study, we analyzed the works by classifying camouflage body painting into passive and active camouflage sections based on the application of biomimicry to the artificial camouflage system. In terms of detailed types, passive camouflage was classified into general resemblance and special resemblance, and active camouflage into adventitious resemblance and variable protective resemblance, and expression characteristics and type were derived. Passive camouflage is the work of the pictorial expressive technique using aqueous and oily body painting products. The general resemblance was expressed as a body painting of crypsis and camouflage strategies. The special resemblance is a mimicry in which the human body camouflages the whole figure of living organisms or inanimate objects.

Biodiversity Data Journal 9: e66058. https://doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.9.e66058 Abstract Background Tapinoma Foerster belongs to the ant subfamily Dolichoderinae and the vast majority of its species are arboreal or generalised foragers. The genus is composed of 70 described species, 22 known subspecies and six valid fossil species worldwide, while from the Arabian Peninsula, three species have been recorded so far. New information Ants of the genus Tapinoma of the Arabian Peninsula are reviewed, keyed and illustrated, based on the worker caste. Three species are diagnosed, T. melanocephalum (Fabricius, 1793), T. simrothi Krausse, 1911 and T. wilsoni Sharaf & Aldawood, 2012. We present the © Abdel-Dayem M et al.

Therefore, selection should favour individuals that use information on how effective their camouflage is in their immediate habitat when responding to an approaching threat.

  • Establishing the Behavioural Limits for Countershaded Camouflage
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Establishing the behavioural limits for countershaded camoufage Olivier Penacchio1, Julie M. Harris1 & P. George Lovell2 Countershading is a ubiquitous patterning of animals whereby the side that typically faces the highest Received: 15 June 2017 illumination is darker. When tuned to specifc lighting conditions and body orientation with respect to Accepted: 20 September 2017 the light feld, countershading minimizes the gradient of light the body refects by counterbalancing Published: xx xx xxxx shadowing due to illumination, and has therefore classically been thought of as an adaptation for visual camoufage. However, whether and how crypsis degrades when body orientation with respect to the light feld is non-optimal has never been studied. We tested the behavioural limits on body orientation for countershading to deliver efective visual camoufage. We asked human participants to detect a countershaded target in a simulated three-dimensional environment. The target was optimally coloured for crypsis in a reference orientation and was displayed at diferent orientations. Search performance dramatically improved for deviations beyond 15 degrees. Detection time was signifcantly shorter and accuracy signifcantly higher than when the target orientation matched the countershading pattern. This work demonstrates the importance of maintaining body orientation appropriate for the displayed camoufage pattern, suggesting a possible selective pressure for animals to orient themselves appropriately to enhance crypsis. Te evolution of animal coloration is afected by several constraints including communication, thermoregulation, protection against ultra-violet radiation and visual camoufage1–3. Countershading is a patterning where the parts of the body that usually face the direction of maximum illumination, usually the back, are darker than parts facing in the opposite direction4,5.
