Adjustments in the time, distance and direction of foraging in dinoponera quadriceps workers

We measured individual decisions regarding the adjustments of time, distance and direction of foraging in Dinoponera quadriceps.We observed two colonies in an area of secondary Atlantic Forest, FLONA-ICMBio, in Northeastern Brazil. The workers were individually marked. We recorded the displacemen...
