Animal behaviour: task differentiation by personality in spider groups
journal contribution
posted on 2023-06-08, 18:07 authored by Lena Grinsted, Jonathan BaconDispatch: In social animals, group efficiency is often assumed to increase with task differentiation, but this requires that individuals are better than generalists at the task they specialize in. A new study finds that individual Anelosimus studiosus spiders do predominantly perform the task they excel at, in line with their individual personality type, when they are placed in groups.
