Freas C, Plowes N, Spetch M
Behav Processes
. 2021 Mar;
186:104373.
PMID: 33684462
Foraging ants use multiple navigational strategies, including path integration and visual panorama cues, which are used simultaneously and weighted based upon context, the environment and the species' sensory ecology. In...

Freas C, Congdon J, Plowes N, Spetch M
Anim Cogn
. 2020 Feb;
23(6):1087-1105.
PMID: 32078060
The desert harvester ant (Veromessor pergandei) employs a mixture of social and individual navigational strategies at separate stages of their foraging trip. Individuals leave the nest along a pheromone-based column,...

Freas C, Congdon J, Plowes N, Spetch M
J Insect Physiol
. 2019 Sep;
118:103944.
PMID: 31520596
Diverse species may adopt behaviourally identical solutions to similar environmental challenges. However, the underlying mechanisms dictating these responses may be quite different and are often associated with the specific ecology...

Freas C, Plowes N, Spetch M
J Comp Physiol A Neuroethol Sens Neural Behav Physiol
. 2019 Aug;
205(5):755-767.
PMID: 31422422
The polarisation pattern of skylight serves as an orientation cue for many invertebrates. Solitary foraging ants, in particular, rely on polarised light to orient along with a number of other...

Behav Processes
. 2019 Feb;
162:119-129.
PMID: 30753885
Territorial battles among ants exhibit temporal and spatial patterns that self-organize, arising spontaneously from distributed decisions by large numbers of individuals. We describe agent-based models of inter-group fights in ants...

Naturwissenschaften
. 2014 Jun;
101(7):527-32.
PMID: 24903680
Fisher and Robertson (Insect Soc 46: 78-83, 1999) discovered the production of silk-like secretions emerging from slit-shaped openings along the anterior margin of the ventral hypostoma of Melissotarsus ant workers....

Plowes N, Colella T, Johnson R, Holldobler B
J Comp Physiol A Neuroethol Sens Neural Behav Physiol
. 2013 Dec;
200(2):129-37.
PMID: 24322558
We combined behavioral analyses in the laboratory and field to investigate chemical communication in the formation of foraging columns in two Nearctic seed harvesting ants, Messor pergandei and Messor andrei....

J Theor Biol
. 2013 Aug;
340:186-98.
PMID: 23978772
We present an empirically based group model of foraging interactions in Messor pergandei, the Sonoran desert harvesting ant. M. pergandei colonies send out daily foraging columns consisting of tens of...

J Insect Physiol
. 2013 Jul;
59(9):863-9.
PMID: 23811189
We investigated the role of the pygidial gland on foraging behavior in two ecologically dominant column foraging Nearctic harvesting ants (Messor pergandei and Messor andrei). Using chemical analyses and behavioral...

FASEB J
. 2010 Mar;
24(7):2567-75.
PMID: 20215529
Inflammation is often accompanied by robust angiogenesis. Vascular endothelial cells (ECs) express erbB receptors and their ligand, neuregulin-1, and can respond to neuregulin by proliferation and angiogenesis. We hypothesized that...
