Foraging ants trade off further for faster: use of natural bridges and trunk trail permanency in carpenter ants
(Naturwissenschaften, 2018)
Dynamics of physical trail construction and of trail usage in the leaf-cutting ant Atta laevigata
(2018-01-01)
Leaf cutting ants of the genus Atta build long lasting physical trails to exploit the vegetation around their nest. In this paper we investigated the dynamics of physical trail construction and usage in the leaf-cutting ...
Meteor trail diffusion and fields: 2. Analytical theory
(American Geophysical Union, 2006-12-20)
A meteoroid penetrating the Earth's atmosphere leaves behind a trail of dense plasma embedded in the lower E/upper D region ionosphere. While radar measurements of meteor trail evolution have been collected and used to ...
Dynamics of foraging trails in the Neotropical termite Velocitermes heteropterus (Isoptera: Termitidae)
(Elsevier B. V., 2015)
Foraging behavior in termites varies with the feeding habits of each species but often occurs through the formation of well-defined trails that connect the nest to food sources in species that build structured nests. We ...
Projected decrease in trail access in the Arctic
(Springer Nature, 2023)
Transportation systems in northern Canada are highly sensitive to climate change. We project how access to semi-permanent trails on land, water, and sea ice might change this century in Inuit Nunangat (the Inuit homeland ...
Environmental perception as a contribution to environmental education in protected area trails and creation of an interpretative itinerary
(Federal Univ Rio Grande, Inst Education, 2016-09-01)
The present article provides some considerations about environmental awareness and the creation of an interpretive script as a contribution to extensionism and environmental education in protected areas, directed to work ...
Identification of trail pheromone compounds from the labial glands of the stingless bee Geotrigona mombuca
(BIRKHAUSER VERLAG AG, 2009)
Foragers of several species of stingless bees deposit pheromone spots in the vegetation to guide recruited nestmates to a rich food source. Recent studies have shown that Trigona and Scaptotrigona workers secrete these ...
Trail-Pheromone Specificity of Two Sympatric Termites (Rhinotermitidae) from Southeastern Brazil
(2004-02-17)
Studies on pheromone specificity are of ecological interest in termite biology where different species share the same habitat. In this work we evaluated the role of the trail pheromones as a mechanism for the isolation of ...
