Automated tracking and analysis of ant trajectories shows variation in forager exploration

Full tracking dataset used in study can be found under "Datasets" Raw videos used for analysis in Imirzian et al (2019). Videos are of ants foraging on trails in an area of high disease pressure. Videos are organized into groups depending on the colony and date they were recorded from. For a night of footage, videos are divided into 5-7 20-minute videos, labeled in order of time filmed.

For details on filming methods please see Imirzian et al. (2019). Citation:
