From the France Culture series «Invisible Alliances»
Listen to the podcast «Ants: a symphony without traffic jams», of’Olivier Blight and Didier Josselin:
How do ants manage to optimise their routes and avoid any form of congestion when moving around?
This podcast explores the fascinating mechanisms of collective intelligence, which is both simple in principle and remarkably effective in its results.
Through a cross-disciplinary analysis combining ecology and geography, ecologist Olivier Blight and geographer Didier Josselin offer an innovative interpretation of movement patterns among ants, thereby opening up practical avenues for rethinking human mobility.
Enjoy the listen!
