Die komplexen Aktivitätsmuster während der Futtersuche bei Ameisen sind kein Resultat einer einfachen Selbstorganisation mit starren Regeln sind, sondern diese Regeln werden vielmehr permanent durch den Informationsaustausch zwischen den Arbeiterinnen modifiziert. Die Furagierökologie hat vor allem einen Einfluss auf die Rekrutierungsstrategie der Tiere. Blattschneiderameisen furagieren an großen und stabilen Nahrungsressourcen auf diese sie nach dem Auffinden sofort stark rekrutieren. Camponotus rufipes besucht hingegen Futterquellen, die in ihrer Ergiebigkeit schlecht vorhersagbar sind. Daher steigern die Tiere ihre Rekrutierungsintensität erst nachdem sie sich durch mehrmaliges Aufsuchen der Futterquelle von deren Beständigkeit überzeugt...
