      From the article:

      People attempted to solve the puzzle because they were instructed to, while ants were motivated to carry the load to the third chamber (which was open toward the nest) since the load was made to resemble food.

        I missed the link to the article too… what I get for navigation lemmy under the influence of Christmas cheer. Thank you for the assist, neighbor.

      Either it’s full of food or the entire nest is just that blank acrylic and they want to add it to their nest. Probably food though.

        You know… I never thought about them having a nest off screen… I just assumed they were in a box.
