Black circles indicate the average value of S (or Ŝ) for each treatment, and error bars represent 95% confidence intervals. 95% CI for band-shaped impediment in (e) was too small to show (± 2 mm). Full size image Model To quantitatively express the hypothesis that pheromone-based ...
Ant foraging activity on the bridges as a function of time (h) over 8 hours. Baseline ant activity was measured at time 0 with both bridges offering sucrose solution. Immediately thereafter, the feeders were opened, offering sucrose solution in the sucrose bridge (in blue, solid line) and ...
They continued to walk forward, looking in one direction. Go in the direction the sun goes down so you don't ramble and don't go around in circles. If you want to go home, just turn back in the direction of the rising sun, it's just a matter of distance, and you never get lost...
Overview of the model system and simulation design. (a) Visual representation of the two types of foraging strategies observed in leaf-cutter ants, task-partitioned (top) and generalist (bottom). Under task partitioning, individuals either cut and drop leaves from the treetop (‘droppers’) or...
The special dog bowl has a rim area that circles it. The rim is filled with water so ants can't get to the dog's food! Large yellow ants (also called citronella ants) have a lemony smell when they are crushed. Ants use comb-like structures on their legs to clean their antennae. Th...
The large grey circles (1a,b, 2a,b, and 3a,b) stand for the six pits. In the three-pit treatment only 1a, 2a, and 3a were deployed in a zigzag arrangement, and the other pits were covered with sand. Right: The five treatments applied in the two experiments and the number (#) ...
One of the creatures bit him just below the rim of his goggles; he managed to tear it away, but the agony of the bite and its etching acid drilled into the eye nerves; he saw now through circles of fire into a milky mist, then he ran for a time almost blinded, knowing that if ...
Proportions of exotic to native species are indicated by the shading of the circles. The proportions of native ants are depicted in green, while the proportion of exotic ants are red. Standards (http://www.nextgenscience.org/ search-standards). Connections with collabora- tors that were ...
Circles are data obtained by fitting the geometrical properties of ~50 different tactoids at a given temperature. + are the average evolution geometrical properties of three different tactoids. Inset: shape of the tactoid mofoKd3e/lKle1dbaasseadthorneeth–edifmitteinngsioofntahle droplet formed ...
