Environmental temperature affects the dynamics of ingestion in the nectivorous ant Camponotus mus

Environmental temperature influences physiology and behavior in animals in general and is particularly determinant in ectotherms. Not least because temperature defines metabolism and body temperature, muscle activity in insects also strongly depends on this factor. Here, we analyzed how environmenta...
