Outline of Final Research Achievements

We obtained two major results. (1) We measured the rhythm of Diacamma’s queen in small scale colony, and observed its rhythm is affected by the condition of the workers. (2) We made simple non-linear models for the synchronization of a few workers and for patrolling behavior of Diacamma’s queen.
