Thus M. panamica foragers can evidently (1) communicate the direction, height, and distance of a food source from the nest, (2) communicate direction outside the nest, communicate height and distance inside the nest, (3) do not deposit a scent trail for recruits to follow, (4) do not pilot recruits the entire distance to the food source, (5) do not influence the long-distance orientation of recruits with scents deposited at the food source, and (6) produce unloading and dance sound pulses whose durations are related to the height and distance to the food source.
