Time-Ordered Networks Reveal Limitations to Information Flow in Ant Colonies
Figure 7
Displacement of individuals over time.
As in a diffusion process, the displacement of individuals from their initial position is predicted to increase with the square root of time (Eq. S4). Across colonies, displacements increase more slowly than expected but do scale with model predictions (test of slope = 1 for SMA regression of transformed data: all p<10−6, all slopes in 0.67–0.91).
