| Реферат: | eng: A method for estimating the complexity of behavioral patterns of ants based on the Kolmogorov complexity is considered. Behavioral sequences are presented as 'texts' compressed with the KGB Archiver (v. 1.2). The elements of behavior (a total of 10) singled out from video records served as an alphabet. The comparison of 'successful' and 'incomplete' hunting behaviors in Myrmica rubra showed that successful hunting patterns were characterized by less complexity than 'incomplete' ones. It was assumed that complete patterns had less redundancy and better predictability. The smallest complexity was revealed in complete hunting patterns of naive (laboratory reared) ants in comparison with members of a natural colony. In perspective, quantitative evaluation of complexity of behavioral patterns will help to evaluate the level of discrete variability within ant colonies. © 2011 Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.
