Accuracy and spread of nest search behaviour in the Saharan silver ant, Cataglyphis bombycina, and in the salt pan species, Cataglyphis fortis.

Indeed, the differences were highly significant ( p ≤ 0.001) for all experimental paradigms except 1–0 (outbound journey on sand, inbound journey on hard floor, p ≤ 0.019).That is, C. bombycina exhibited a broader search than C. fortis , on average by a factor of about 2.8, ranging from 1.76 in the 1–0 condition to 3.84 in the 0–1 condition.
