Foraging ecology of the thermophilic Australian desert ant, Melophorus bagoti (2005, background): “…and behavioural adaptations have been identified in Cataglyphis (Wehner et al. 1992; Lighton and Wehner 1993; Gehring and Wehner 1995; Cerdá and Retana 2000; Cerdá 2001), Ocymyrmex (Marsh 1985a, 1987, 1990; Turner et al. 2000), and Melophorus (Christian and Morton 1992; Hoffmann…”
Spontaneous formation of multiple routes in individual desert ants (Cataglyphis velox) (2012, background): “Cataglyphis velox foragers are large, thermophilic, central place, solitary scavengers similar to other desert ant species (Cerda and Retana 2000; Mangan 2011).”
