Resilience of honeybee colonies via common stomach: A model of self-regulation of foraging We propose a new regulation mechanism based on the idea of the “common stomach” to explain several aspects of the resilience and homeostatic regulation of honeybee colonies. This mechanism exploits...

How Hives Collapse: Allee Effects, Ecological Resilience, and the Honey Bee We construct a mathematical model to quantify the loss of resilience in collapsing honey bee colonies due to the presence of a strong Allee effect. In the model, recruitment and mortality of adult bees have substantial...

Resilience and Controllability of Dynamic Collective Behaviors The network paradigm is used to gain insight into the structural root causes of the resilience of consensus in dynamic collective behaviors, and to analyze the controllability of the swarm dynamics. Here we devise the dynamic...
