• Shaking a leg and hot to trot: the effects of body size and temperature on running speed in ants (2008, background): “Other factors that may affect whether ants run at their optimal speed include trail traffic and encounter rates between workers ( Burd & Aranwela, 2003 ), motivational state based on resource quality ( Roces, 1993 ), load carriage (e.g. Lighton et al. , 1993 ), and the presence of obstacles along…”
