Modeling the movement of Oecophylla smaragdina on short-length scales in an unfamiliar environment

Abstract The movement of individual weaver ants, of Oecophylla smaragdina, was previously tracked within an unfamiliar arena. We develop an empirical model, based on Brownian motion with a linear drag and constant driving force, to explain the observed distribution of ants over position and velocity...
