Abstract
In foraging and homing, desert ants of the genus Cataglyphis employ two different systems of navigation: a vector-based or dead-reckoning mechanism, depending on angles steered and distances travelled, and a landmark-based piloting mechanism. In these systems the ants use either celestial or terrestrial visual information, respectively. In behavioural experiments we investigated how long these types of information are preserved in the ant's memory, i.e. how long the ants are able to orient properly in either way. To answer this questi
