Self-organized aggregation in cockroaches

Article Abstract:

Experiments with cockroaches, Blattella germanica, larvae in a homogeneous environment were carried out to investigate the influence of interactions between individuals on aggregations. The findings suggest that aggregation relies on mechanisms of amplification, supported by interactions between individuals that follow simple rules based on local information and without knowledge of the global structure.

Cockroach aggregation based on strain odour recognition

Article Abstract:

Blattella germanica model is used to investigate different aspects of aggregation and interindividual recognition. The model is based on a fundamental parameter representing individual variation in the resting period on a given site in relation to the number of individuals on the site.
