Animals must navigate changing environments to find food, shelter or mates. In mammals,
grid cells in the medial entorhinal cortex construct a neural spatial map of the external …

The insect central complex appears to encode and process spatial information through
vector manipulation. Here, we draw on recent insights into circuit structure to fuse previous …

In recent years the bull ant Myrmecia midas Clark, 1951, has attracted attention for its
impressive visual navigation during its nocturnal activity. Still, a basic understanding of this …

The Australian red honey ant, Melophorus bagoti, stands out as the most thermophilic ant in
Australia, engaging in all outdoor activities during the hottest periods of the day during …

Many ant species can respond to dramatic changes in local conditions by relocating the
entire colony to a new location. While we know that careful learning walks enable the …

Wall-following behavior is the movement along a wall exhibited by various animals. It is a
conserved behavior among taxa, from unicellular organisms to humans, prone to selection …

Abstract The Central Australian red honey-pot ant Melophorus bagoti maintains non-cryptic
ground-nesting colonies in the semi-desert habitat, performing all the activities outside the …

Solitarily foraging ant species differ in their reliance on their two primary navigational
systems—path integration and visual learning. Despite many species of Australian bull ants …

Solitarily foraging ants learn to navigate between important locations by comparing their
current view with memorized scenes along a familiar route. As desert ants, in particular …

ABSTRACT The Australian desert ant Melophorus bagoti is known to navigate in their
complex visual environment relying on path integration and landmark learning. We …
