This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Wyatt Ch 7 Wisdom of Crowds (Sociality) 111618, Other workers in which a positive feedback loop reinforces the laying down of mud, ants that lay down foraging trails in which scout ant workers that find food return to their nest as they lay down a pheremone trail along the way, other ants can follow the trail to the food source & also lay down additional pheremones to reinforce the trail (leading to a positive feedback loop) allowing them to Find the richest food sources, Two pheromones from Other workers, collective movement (in which the movement of the group is directed by a few "knowledgable individuals) as seen in people driving cars in congested traffic (Dr. Mostrom's addition), Each bird alters its movements by observing the closest 6-7 flock-mates which then gets transmitted exponentially to other flock-mates, a positive feedback loop reinforces the laying down of mud allowing for the construction of a structure that can be 5 meters tall and 30 meters in diameter, other ants can follow the trail to the food source & also lay down additional pheremones to reinforce the trail (leading to a positive feedback loop) sometimes leading to The formation of a "circle of death", "swarm intelligence" has the adaptive function of optimizing the preformance of the overall group, Find the richest food sources usuallyy leading to increased survival of individuals and colony, detection of pheromones and air currents leading to the formation of large nesting structures that would not be built by a singular individual, Two pheromones from The queen, optimizing the preformance of the overall group via "the selish herd" process, an overall "ripple effect" in the school, and movement of the school away from the predator (sometimes forming a "bait ball") sometimes decreasing predation of the overall school, "swarm intelligence" is defined as self-organization rules that allow a species to make a compex choice to maxamize adaptive function, any fish detecting a predator moves away from the predator which triggers its nearest neighbors to also move away from the predator, honeybees that divide their original hive and move 1/2 of the colony to a new hive site with the details provided on the Seeley CMap, scout ant workers that find food return to their nest as they lay down a pheremone trail along the way so that if the food source runs out, other ants will not reinforce the trail, scout ant workers that find food return to their nest as they lay down a pheremone trail along the way so that other ants can follow the trail to the food source & also lay down additional pheremones to reinforce the trail (leading to a positive feedback loop), detection of pheromones and air currents including Two pheromones
