This paper proposes the use of Complex Network Theory to model the interactions between ants and analyze their social behavior. Specifically, the study focuses on six colonies of ants to investigate whether their behavior is community-oriented or individual-oriented. The research employs various nodes properties that define nodes’ importance to quantify the existence of a social or individual-oriented behavior. The results aim to provide insights into the social behavior of ants and may have implications for understanding other complex social systems.
