Selection and spatial arrangement of building materials during the construction of nest turrets by grass-cutting ants
Ants build complex nest structures by reacting to simple, local stimuli. While underground nests result from the space generated by digging, some leaf- and grass-cutting ants also construct conspicuous aboveground turrets around nest openings. We investigated whether the selection of specific buildi...
