Excited to have our new paper published in Insectes Sociaux! Lasius niger ants discovering a pre-existing trail do not modify their trail-following behaviour with distance from the nest or motivation. The straightness of their trajectories was affected by how far they had walked before though! š

tomerczaczkes.bsky.social et al. show that workers follow pheromone trails with fidelity, regardless of their foraging context š
