J Vis Exp
. 2021 Mar;
(168).
PMID: 33645561
The unique traits of eusocial insects, such as social behavior and reproductive division of labor, are controlled by their genetic system. To address how genes regulate social traits, we have...

15(2):e0229709.
PMID: 32109253
Experience can lead to faster exploitation of food patches through spatial learning or other parallel processes. Past studies have indicated that hungry animals either search more intensively for food or...

PMID: 31252072
One neglected aspect of research on foraging behavior is that of the effect of obstacles that increase habitat complexity on foraging efficiency. Here, we explored how long it takes individually...

Sci Rep
. 2018 Sep;
8(1):13868.
PMID: 30217995
There is accumulating evidence that genetic diversity improves the behavioral performance and consequently the fitness in groups of social animals. We examined the behavioral performance of colonies of two co-occurring,...

PLoS One
. 2017 Aug;
12(8):e0183753.
PMID: 28837675
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...
