Colony-level macronutrient regulation in ants: mechanisms, hoarding and associated costs (2010, background): “…stores of lipids; Blanchard et al. 2000) may prompt foraging behaviour, and attractiveness of an encountered food item may be affected by the perceived relative availability and/or abundance of food items (Stein et al. 1990; Hahn & Wheeler 2002; Kay 2004), and their novelty (Howard et al. 1996).”
Species Turnover and Vertical Partitioning of Ant Assemblages in the Brazilian Amazon: A Comparison of Forests and Savannas 1 (2005, background): “Although these two species nest on the ground (Mill 1981, Hann & Wheeler 2002), they were mostly collected on baits placed in the vegetation.”
