Not illustrated. 1907 edition. Excerpt: ... At first the ants stored all of the pupae in the crevice between incline A and stage number one. After that had been accomplished, they began carrying them to the nest. This was conducted at night, by incandescent electric light; all of the other experiments of the series were conducted by daylight. X The pupae were carried up incline C to stage number two, across stage number two to incline if, down incline B to the nest. No pupae were carried down incline A. One pupa was conveyed down incline B, all the others down incline A. One worker ascended incline B to the stage and carried a pupa down incline A. ) One pupa was conveyed down incline B, the remainder down incline A. t All of the pupae were conveyed down incline B. 0 A very large majority of the pupae were carried down incline B to the nest. One pupa was carried down incline A to the nest and several were carried down incline A and stored under the base of the incline. Up to bedtime the pupae had not been carried to the nest. Thus the ants were lost for over 12 hours. In the course of half an hour all of the pupae had been stored in the dark chamber. There they were left, while the workers, one by one, straggled back to the nest. After the lapse of 21 hours and thirty minutes, the pupae were still in the dark chamber. I then removed the dark chamber and placed workers from the nest on the stage. IV. IMPRESSIONS THAT INFLUENCE HOME-GOING ANTS. 1 have endeavored to show that ants find their way home by virtue of something which they acquire by experience and retain; in other words, that they acquire from their environment impressions which influence their home-going. I now propose to examine the nature of these impressions. Most recent students of ants write as though these...

Excerpt from The Homing of Ants: An Experimental Study of Ant Behavior The stage used consisted of a piece of white bristol board I 5 cm. Square; in the edges of two opposite sides perpendicular slits were made 2 cm. From each corner, for the purpose of attaching inclines to the stage. The center of this platform was attached, by means of a pin, to the cork of a bottle about 12 cm. High. Unless otherwise stated, a new stage was used for each series of experiments. All the inclines were made of the same bristol board as the stage and were about 3 cm. Wide and usually 30 cm. Long. For special purposes inclines were made by pasting two of these end to end. They were also modified in other ways. When an incline led from a stage downward, it was always attached so as to project 2 cm. Above the stage except when a dark chamber was used. When the incline led from the stage upward it was always attached so as to project 2 cm. Below the stage. The dark chamber con sisted of an inverted pasteboard box 8 x 4. X I cm. A flap about one centimeter wide and attached above was cut out of one end, and was pressed inwards to furnish a door through which the ants could enter the dark chamber. In order to observe what was happening on the under side of the stage and incline, a small mir ror, inclined at the proper angle, was placed on the island, at one side of the stage.

“A noted naturalist explores the centrality of home in the lives of humans and other animals . . . A special treat for readers of natural history” (Kirkus Reviews). Every year, many species make the journey from one place to another, following the same paths and ending up in the same places. Every year since boyhood, the acclaimed scientist and author Bernd Heinrich has done the same, returning to a beloved patch of western Maine woods. Which led him to wonder: What is the biology in humans of this primal pull toward a particular place, and how is it related to animal homing? In The Homing Instinct, Heinrich explores the fascinating mysteries of animal migration: how geese imprint true visual landscape memory; how scent trails are used by many creatures to locate their homes with pinpoint accuracy; and how even the tiniest of songbirds are equipped for solar and magnetic orienteering over vast distances. And he reminds us that to discount our human emotions toward home is to ignore biology itself. “A graceful blend of science and memoir . . . [Heinrich’s] ability to linger and simply be there for the moment when, for instance, an elderly spider descends from a silken strand to take the insect he offers her is the heart of his appeal.” —Julie Zickefoose, The Wall Street Journal “Deep and insightful writing.” —David Gessner, The Washington Post

Homing phenomena must be considered an important aspect of animal behaviour on account of their frequent occurrence, their survival value, and the variety of the mechanisms involved. Many species regularly rely on their ability to home or reach other familiar sites, but how they manage to do this is often uncertain. In many cases the goal is attained in the absence of any sensory contact, by mechanisms of indirect orientation whose complexity and sophistication have for a long time challenged the skill and patience of many researchers. A series of problems of increasing difficulty have to be overcome; researchers have to discover the nature of orienting cues, the sensory windows involved, the role of inherited and acquired information, and, eventually, how the central mechanisms process information and control motory responses. Naturally, this book emphasizes targets achieved rather than areas unexplored and mysteries unsolved. Even so, the reader will quickly realize that our knowledge of phenomena and mechanisms has progressed to different degrees in different animal groups, ranging from the mere description of homing behaviour to a satisfactory insight into some underlying mechanisms. In the last few dacades there have been promising developments in the study of animal homing, since new approaches have been tried out, and new species and groups have been investigated. Despite this, homing phenomena have not recently been the object of exhaustive reviews and there is a tendency for them to be neglected in general treatises on animal behaviour.

The Author of this new volume on ant communication demonstrates that information theory is a valuable tool for studying the natural communication of animals. To do so, she pursues a fundamentally new approach to studying animal communication and “linguistic” capacities on the basis of measuring the rate of information transmission and the complexity of transmitted messages. Animals’ communication systems and cognitive abilities have long-since been a topic of particular interest to biologists, psychologists, linguists, and many others, including researchers in the fields of robotics and artificial intelligence. The main difficulties in the analysis of animal language have to date been predominantly methodological in nature. Addressing this perennial problem, the elaborated experimental paradigm presented here has been applied to ants, and can be extended to other social species of animals that have the need to memorize and relay complex “messages”. Accordingly, the method opens exciting new dimensions in the study of natural communications in the wild.
