The interplay between maze complexity, colony size, learning and memory in ants while solving a maze: A test at the colony level
Central-place foragers need to explore their immediate habitat in order to reach food. We let colonies of the individually foraging desert ant Cataglyphis niger search for a food reward in a maze. We did so for three tests per day over two successive days and an additional test after a time interval...
