Are you looking for biological references?  There's a rich literature
on the more abstract stuff (pi-calc, coalgebras, etc).  I don't know
of any biological ones, though.  If you're just looking for "agents",
then you might check out:

Formalising Abilities and Opportunities of Agents (1998)
    B. van Linder, W. van der Hoek, J.-J. Ch. Meyer

Algorithms for Ontological Mediation (1998)
    Alistair E. Campbell, Stuart C. Shapiro

Toward a Theory of Honesty and Trust Among Communicating Autonomous Agents 
(1993)
    Piotr J. Gmytrasiewicz and Edmund H. Durfee
