Ant function networks.
(a) Representative ant functional group network showing trophallaxis interactions within and between ant functional groups. The total duration of all interactions between groups is given on the edge along with the percentage of the ant group’s total time budget that this duration represents. (b) All ant functional group networks for both colonies over all nights. (c) All possible functional group interaction patterns (network subgraphs); blue shading indicates which subgraphs were actually observed over the eight nights of observation for both colonies. (d) Histogram of expected count of subgraph types under network randomisation (grey) and the actual subgraph types realised in the study (blue).
