Yes, Ants Think — Like Computers
Computer programmers have adapted some ant problem-solving methods to software programs (but without the need for complex chemical scents).
Animal Algorithms: Ant Foraging Is a “Rational” Behavior
Of course, ants and other animals do not make decisions in a “conscious” manner as humans would. Instead they rely on algorithms.
Not Just Plants — Even Fungi Like Mushrooms — Talk to Each Other?
They are NOT judging us but they do have complex communications systems interacting with their environment.
To Regulate Foraging, Harvester Ants Use a (Designed) Feedback Control Algorithm
These elements of harvester ant behavior present a severe challenge for the evolutionary paradigm.
Ants Use Algorithms Similar to Those of the Internet
Optimization algorithms enable the ant colony to decide how many ants to send to a given food source and when to drastically reduce the number.
