The film shows tandem running behaviour in Bothroponera tesserinoda in normal speed and slow motion (64 B/s). During an experimentatly initiated nest movement, scouts recruit nest mates to a new nest site, by the tandem running technique. By a series of different dummy experiments it can be demonstrated that tandem running behaviour is organized by a combination of motor patterns and mechanical and chemical signals.
