How do ants make sense of gravity? A Boltzmann Walker analysis of Lasius niger trajectories on various inclines.
The goal of this study is to describe accurately how the directional information given by support inclinations affects the ant Lasius niger motion in terms of a behavioral decision. To this end, we have tracked the spontaneous motion of 345 ants walking on a 0.5×0.5 m plane canvas, which was tilted...
