Digging the optimum pit: Antlions, spirals and spontaneous stratification (2019)
Journal Article

Most animal traps are constructed from self-secreted silk, so antlions are rare among trap builders because they use only materials found in the environment. We show how antlions exploit the properties of the substrate to produce very effective struc... Read More about Digging the optimum pit: Antlions, spirals and spontaneous stratification.
