Figure 6.
The panorama and gaze directions during fixation. Images on top show the scene at release locations 15 m north, east and south of the nest both as camera-based images (top row) and as reconstructed model views (second row, scene filtered with 3° of resolution). The nest direction is indicated by a dashed line and home vector directions by red arrow heads. Histograms show gaze directions of individual ants on the release platform for those instances when the angular velocity of gaze changed by less than 50° s−1. Blue, zero-vector ants; red, full-vector ants.
