英文摘要	Foraging behavior requires animals' behavioral flexibility to exhibit efficient strategies that result in the successful search for food. The navigation of ants enables long distance trips back and forth from the nest, using orientation cues. We analyzed the flexibility of Dinoponera quadriceps workers in integrating information introduced into the environment. We studied workers from two colonies in an area of secondary Atlantic Forest, with the use of a physical obstacle placed in front of the entrance of the nest with no fixed angular position. There was no significant difference in the resolution time workers to bypass the obstacle, in the angles between trips when exiting and returning to the nest, or in the positioning angles when returning to the nest. However, we found an increase in positioning angles when leaving the nest to search food, from the second contact onwards. They overcame the new obstacle as they would any other natural one. The presence of the obstacle did not prevent workers from maintaining route fidelity to individual areas. The behavior of D. quadriceps workers indicates that they have the flexibility to incorporate new information in a familiar environment. They likely use multimodal cues, which prevent them from wandering outside the familiar area.
