The difficulty of identifying all the inherent aspects and the needs or processing large set of data has led to design of food description and food aggregation systems.
We evaluate some of the quantitative rules which affect food-flow, such as how the harvested quantity regulates food-flow in the nest or how food aggregation evolves in Formica fusca nests.
This indicates that subordinates are more easily excluded from better foraging circumstances when food aggregation is higher.
However, the food distributions in these studies were uniform or highly clumped, whereas in many field situations, food aggregation is intermediate.
We aimed to experimentally compare the effects of interference competition in a design with an intermediate food aggregation (henceforth, "slightly clumped" (SC)) with designs where food is distributed homogeneously ("uniform" (UN)) or concentrated ("highly clumped" (HC)).
The strength of our experiment is that we also use a clumped distribution with a lower degree of food aggregation, based on the belowground distribution of fennel pondweed tubers (Nolet et al. 2006).

However, although our non-significant results have to be handled with caution, owing to the limited sample size, the three food distributions used in the experiment provide a good representation of the food aggregations possibly encountered by animals in the wild.
The attraction toward food odors and aggregation pheromone results in a more aggregated distribution.
Fruit flies react on food odors and aggregation pheromone in a rather complicated way.
Food odors and aggregation pheromone influence the recovery of the population.
Overall, the use of food odors and aggregation pheromones enhances the persistence of a fruit fly population.
