Desert ants of the genus Cataglyphis (Formicinae) are widely distributed in arid areas of the palearctic ecozone. Their habitats range from relatively cluttered environments in the Mediterranean area to almost landmark free deserts. Due to their sophisticated navigational toolkit, mainly based on the sky-compass, they were studied extensively for the last 4 decades and are an exceptional model organism for navigation. Cataglyphis ants exhibit a temporal polyethism: interior workers stay ins...
