We develop a model to produce plausible patterns of task partitioning in the ponerine ant Ectatomma ruidum based on the availability of living prey and prey corpses.The model is based on the organizational capabilities of a "common stomach" through which the colony utilizes the availability of a natural (food) substance as a major communication cha

Following the success of the experimental Fury dynamo [1], we are studying (i) the possibility of a new experiment with the same geometry and the same anisotropic electrical conductivity, but with a wider galinstan gap between the rotor and the stator than in Fury, in order to allow richer dynamics via Lorentz forces.Of course, to do this, we must
