Precise tactile stimulation of worker ants by a robotic manipulator reveals that individual responses are density‐ and context‐dependent
Abstract Ant workers are often specialized in specific tasks, and it is well‐established that the main task an ant performs in the colony can be used to predict its sensitivity and responses to task‐associated stimuli. An often‐overlooked aspect of ants' task specialization is that individuals...
