Ants Digging Networks (1.0.0)

This is a NetLogo version of Buhl et al.’s (2005) model of self-organised digging activity in ant colonies. It was built for a master’s course on self-organisation and its intended use is still educational. The ants’ behavior can easily be changed by toggling switches on the interface, or, for more advanced students, there is R code included allowing the model to be run and analysed through RNetLogo.

Release Notes

This release contains the NetLogo model file, a model description following the ODD protocol, some informal results, and some R code to run & analyse the model through RNetLogo.
