Abstract

<p>In this paper, we investigate the effect of contact with other ants on exploratory behavior of ants. Japanese wood ants were placed inside ANTAM and their exploratory behavior was recorded for 5 minutes by contacting with other ants every 30 seconds. We found that ants that were allowed to be contacted with other ants maintained super-diffusive movements while presenting the Lévy walk. We also found that they frequently changed their movement directions.</p>
