Fig. 5: Quantifying directional bias toward the primary module.
From: Two simple movement mechanisms for spatial division of labour in social insects
Panels a–d show the signed difference in the taxis indices of resident versus non-resident workers as a function of distance to the focal module border, for each species. Positive values occur when individuals from a focal module (residents) exhibit stronger taxis toward the nearest point on the border of that module than individuals from other modules (non-residents). Vertical bars indicate standard errors, and shaded areas represent the 95% confidence intervals after Bonferroni correction. Asterisks indicate distances at which there was a statistically significant difference between the taxis of residents and non-residents after BH correction for multiple testing. All analyses based on n = 12494 workers, drawn from n = 50 colonies. Source data are provided as a source data file.
