Fig. 3. Effect of the number of encounters with contact on the duration of travel between the two bottlenecks of the bridge for the two bridge widths studied. The slope of the linear regression lines corresponds to the time lost by each ant per interaction; its intercept gives the duration of travel without interaction. N=133 and N=126 for the 3 mm and 10 mm bridge, respectively.
