Ants Use Multiple Spatial Memories and Chemical Pointers to Navigate Their Nest
Summary: Animal navigation relies on the available environmental cues and, where present, visual cues typically dominate. While much is known about vision-assisted navigation, knowledge of navigation in the dark is scarce. Here, we combine individual tracking, dynamic modular nest structures, and sp...
