Ant Fight Club
In my latest post for the Improbable Research blog, I discuss modeling of combat in ants.
One of the reasons I chose to write about this paper is that it also allowed me to introduce modeling issues (e.g., the choice of a differential-equation model versus an agent-based model).
Next time, maybe I'll even use a Mortal Kombat reference. Finish him!
