Desert Navigator

Cataglyphis ants can set out across vast expanses of desert terrain in search of prey, and then find the shortest way home. Rüdiger Wehner has devised elegant experiments to unmask how they do it. Through a lively and lucid narrative, he offers a firsthand look at the extraordinary navigational skills of these charismatic creatures.

Furnicile Cataglyphis se pot deplasa pe intinderi intinse de teren desertic in cautare de prada si apoi pot gasi cea mai scurta cale spre casa. Rudiger Wehner a conceput experimente elegante pentru a demasca cum o fac.
