Abstract

The aim of this comment is to highlight the clear correspondence between some existing experimental data on cooperative foraging in ants, where it is known that mass recruitment is less flexible than combinations of group and mass recruitment, and the idea of "instigated" decision making (Numaoka, 1995). A simple model accounting for the experimental observations is introduced, and its phase diagram is presented briefly.
