Directed retreat and navigational mechanisms in trail following Formica obscuripes
Ant species exhibit behavioural commonalities when solving navigational challenges for
successful orientation and to reach goal locations. These behaviours rely on a shared …

Route retracing: way pointing and multiple vector memories in trail-following ants
Maintaining positional estimates of goal locations is a fundamental task for navigating
animals. Diverse animal groups, including both vertebrates and invertebrates, can …

Not just going with the flow: foraging ants attend to polarised light even while on the pheromone trail
The polarisation pattern of skylight serves as an orientation cue for many invertebrates.
Solitary foraging ants, in particular, rely on polarised light to orient along with a number of …

Role of the pheromone for navigation in the group foraging ant, Veromessor pergandei
Navigation is comprised of a variety of strategies which rely on multiple external cues to
shape a navigator's behavioral output. Here, we explored in the ant Veromessor pergandei …

Same but different: socially foraging ants backtrack like individually foraging ants but use different mechanisms
Diverse species may adopt behaviourally identical solutions to similar environmental
challenges. However, the underlying mechanisms dictating these responses may be quite …

Pheromone cue triggers switch between vectors in the desert harvest ant, Veromessor pergandei
The desert harvester ant (Veromessor pergandei) employs a mixture of social and individual
navigational strategies at separate stages of their foraging trip. Individuals leave the nest …

A comparative study of navigation behaviours in ants
Ants inhabit a vast range of ecosystems and exhibit wide morphology. They are expert
navigators employing a handful of well-understood navigational strategies. However, the …
