Below-ground ants follow pheromones more quickly under dark conditions, but pheromones do not affect decision accuracy nor aggression

Patrick Krapf, Michael Mitschke, Anna Lenninger…·Florian Michael Steiner

The paper tests how below-ground ants navigate using pheromones in different conditions and finds they move faster underground but pheromones don't affect decision accuracy or aggression.
