Individual Learning Phenotypes Drive Collective Cognition

The paper shows that individual learning differences in honey bees influence collective foraging behavior, with mixed phenotypes showing unexpected collective preferences.

Coordination among neighbors improves the efficacy of Zika control despite economic costs

This study shows that coordinating mosquito control timing among neighboring areas can improve Zika outbreak control despite economic costs, depending on surveillance methods and cost types.

The effect of individual learning on collective foraging in honey bees in complex environments

This study shows that colonies with better-learning individuals are worse at selecting high-quality resources collectively in complex environments.
