- "This paper examined visual scanning in ants, and, by using analyses based on image differences and visual navigation models, linked scanning frequency to the ant’s navigational uncertainty, establishing scanning as a metric of uncertainty. Crucially this paper tied behaviour to our new route navigation model, thus underpinning our bio-robotic research and other’s high-impact work [1,2]. These ideas are central to ~£3M Sussex grant income [2-4] in robotics and biology while the first author is building on this work in an ERC grant [5]. Field-weighted citation impact 2.79 (Scopus).
