Visual navigation

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    The role of attractive and repellent scene memories in ant homing (Myrmecia croslandi)
    Trevor Murray, Zoltán Kócsi, Hansjürgen Dahmen, Ajay Narendra, Florent Le Möel, Antoine Wystrach, Jochen Zeil
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb210021 doi: 10.1242/jeb.210021 Published 3 February 2020

    Editors' Choice: Outdoor experiments with ants on a trackball and agent-based modelling suggest that navigating ants might continuously integrate attractive and repellent visual memories.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Panorama similarity and navigational knowledge in the nocturnal bull ant Myrmecia midas
    Cody A. Freas, Ken Cheng
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb193201 doi: 10.1242/jeb.193201 Published 4 June 2019

    Summary: Myrmecia midas show navigational performance differences based on foraging experience. Differences in navigational success correspond with the degree of similarity between the panorama at release locations and panoramas at known locations.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    The choreography of learning walks in the Australian jack jumper ant Myrmecia croslandi
    Piyankarie Jayatilaka, Trevor Murray, Ajay Narendra, Jochen Zeil
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2018 221: jeb185306 doi: 10.1242/jeb.185306 Published 24 October 2018

    Summary: Ants learn about the location of their nest during highly choreographed learning walks. They systematically scan the scene alternating between looking toward and away from the nest from different compass bearings.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Acquisition and expression of memories of distance and direction in navigating wood ants
    A. Sofia D. Fernandes, Andrew Philippides, Tom S. Collett, Jeremy E. Niven
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 3580-3588; doi: 10.1242/jeb.125443

    Summary: Wood ants form linked memories of the distance and direction of their homeward foraging route.
