Desert ants (Melophorus bagoti) oscillate and scan more in navigation when the visual scene changes by Sudhakar Deeti, Ken Cheng

“…Our findings showed that when the familiar scene was changed, ants oscillated more, slowed their speed, and increased scanning bouts, indicating a shift from exploiting known information to more actively exploring and learning new visual cues. These results suggest that scene familiarity plays a crucial role in ant navigation, and changes in their visual environment lead to distinct behavioral adaptations aimed at learning about the new cues.…”
