| dc.description.abstract | We study insect traffic, specifically ant traffic on a uni-directional trail which is shared by two species of ants, one of which is 'good' at smelling and the other 'poor'. The two distinct species of ants are placed mixed on the same trail and individuals of both are permitted to make a U-turn when they encounter another ant in front of them. The theoretical scheme for the ant traffic is based on an asymmetric simple exclusion model. The ant traffic on the uni-directional trail is studied as a function of the number of 'good-smelling' ants and the evaporation probability of pheromones by keeping the number of 'poor-smelling ants' constant during Monte Carlo simulations. © 2015 IOP Publishing Ltd and SISSA Medialab srl. | |
