For queries such as this, Scholar GPT is your best bet. Here is a response that it generated for me (and I edited to remove research papers that do not fit your guidelines)

 

Here are some relevant research papers on the Effect of Light Disruption on Ant Foraging Behavior:

 

  1. Effect of large visual changes on the navigation of the nocturnal bull ant, Myrmecia midas

    • Authors: M Islam, CA Freas, K Cheng
    • Link: Springer
    • PDF: Academia.edu
    • Summary: Examines how red-light conditions were used to minimize disturbances during nocturnal foraging.

  2. Light affects the homing ability of Solenopsis invicta (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) foraging workers

    • Authors: RK Vander Meer, LE Alonso
    • Link: BioOne
    • PDF: BioOne PDF
    • Summary: Examines how varying light exposure influences trail formation and ant homing behaviors.

  3. The twilight zone: ambient light levels trigger activity in primitive ants

    • Authors: A Narendra, SF Reid
    • Link: Royal Society
    • HTML: NIH
    • Summary: Investigates how ambient light triggers activity without relying on internal rhythms.

Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. -Proverbs 6: 6-8
