“My research recognizes the organism-like nature of ant colonies: each colony most commonly begins life as a single individual and goes through a process of growth, development, and death; specific colony functions are carried out by specialized classes of workers, larvae, or sexual individuals; competition takes place among colonies, just as it does among individuals of nonsocial animals; nourishment must be taken in by colonies, distributed, and allocated among colony members and colony functions; colonies must produce specialized sexual individuals (propagules) for reproducing."
