There were errors published in J. Exp. Biol. 210,1804-1812.

An error was published in the last paragraph of the Analysissection on p. 1806.

The correct wording for the text is:

Trajectories of ants displaced laterally were analysed in four categories based on their search patterns: (a) zero turns: paths that did not have any turns ≥50°; (b) one turn: paths of ants characterised by a single turn≥50°, these are usually 90° turns directed towards the route-mark corridor; (c) zero loops: paths of ants with one or more turn/s ≥50°,but the paths never form loops; and (d) ≥one loop: paths of ants that turn≥50° and form a loop/s.

Errors were also published in the footnote of Table on p. 1809.

The correct wording for the footnote is:

Note: zero turns: paths that did not have any turns ≥50°; one turn:paths characterised by a single turn ≥50°; zero loop: paths with more than one turn/s ≥50°, but never a loop; ≥one loop: paths with turns≥50° and also a loop/s.

We apologise to the author and readers for these errors.
