We investigate a type of bistability where noise not only causes transitionsbetween stable states, but also constructs the states themselves. We focus onthe experimentally well-studied system of ants choosing between two foodsources to illustrate the essential points, but the ideas are more general. Themean time for switching between the two bistable states of the system iscalculated. This suggests a procedure for estimating, in a real system, thecritical population size above which bistability ceases to occur.
