Walking on inclines: how do desert ants monitor slope and step length
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>During long-distance foraging in almost featureless habitats desert ants of the genus <it>Cataglyphis </it>employ path-integrating mechanisms (vector navigation). This navigational strategy requires an egocentric monitori...
