Episode 4. Ant Navigation: Stilts vs. Stumps

Happy Tuesday science/Bonnie and Averill lovers! Welcome back to Episode 4.

On today’s ep:
- More on ovaries 
- A stressed out Bonnie 
- How Saharan desert ants navigate
- Ants on stilts 
- Ants with their legs cut off
- Various rants 

Today we get into a paper on how ants in the Saharan desert (without the usual landmarks and pheromone trails) navigate. 
 
Turns out scientists are creative, ants *probably* can’t count, and science memes will always have a place in our hearts.

Link to the paper for all those nerds out there:
