The authors neglected to cite a published thesis that investigated a related aspect of tandem running in the same study species. This additional reference is listed below as reference 1, and should appear in the text as below.
In the Introduction section,
“Tandem running is a recruitment strategy that ants use to guide nestmates to new nest locations and to new food sources6,7 and is prevalent across the ant phylogeny (Camponotus spp.8,9, Cardiocondyla spp.7, Temnothorax spp.10–12, Diacamma rugosum13,14, Harpagoxenus sublaevis6, Pachycondyla obscuricornis15, Pachycondyla tesserinoda16 and Polyrhachis proxima17).”
should read:

In the same section,
“Since only one nestmate is recruited at a time, tandem running has been considered to be a primitive form of recruitment7,8”.
