Out of sight but not out of mind: modulation of recruitment according to home range marking in ants
Article Abstract:
Home range marking in ants can indicate the density and activity of nestmates that allows scouts to assess the potential interest of the area as a foraging site. How home range marking through footprints influences the foraging behavior of Lasius niger scouts at a sugar food source is investigated.
