Different members specialize in:
- acquisition
- digestion
- defense
- reproduction
- transport
- temperature control
- storage
Operational definition
Collective energetic architecture.
The specialization of cells, individuals, modules, or castes within a persistent collective so that different members perform complementary energetic functions.
Possible specializations include:
- acquisition;
- digestion;
- transport;
- defense;
- reproduction;
- storage;
- ventilation;
- thermoregulation.
The energetic performance of the whole cannot be understood by treating every member as functionally identical.
