A schematic illustrating the process of updating the characteristic parameters of an individual ant at a specific time-step. The turning angle ∆θ p t+1 is selected from a Laplace distribution with a location parameter of 0 and a scale parameter of 1 ω as described in Eq (2.1). Additionally, the speed s p t+1 is chosen from an exponential distribution with an average of λ p t according to Eq (2.3), and the speed jump Λ p is selected from a truncated exponential distribution with an average of a −1 as outlined in Eq (2.2).

Ant colonies demonstrate a finely tuned alarm response to potential threats, offering a uniquely manageable empirical setting for exploring adaptive information diffusion within groups. To effectively address potential dangers, a social group must swiftly communicate the threat throughout the collective while conserving energy in the event that the...

... simulated a group of N ant workers navigating a two-dimensional circular arena with a radius of M = 520 pixels in continuous space (see Figure S1 in the Supplementary file). Our time scale was limited to just a few minutes, negating the need to account for birth or death processes. ...
