Fig. 5. The dynamics of transitions between behavioral states. Schematic representation of average transition matrix for foragers (A), and callows (B). The width of arrows is proportional to the average probabilities of transitions from each behavioral state to all other states. The patterns are analyzed from a first-order Markov chain (see Materials and methods), by using 3127 and 3928 behavioral transitions, from 16 foragers and 17 callows, respectively (pooled from colonies H3, H12 and S25). The overall matrices of callows and foragers differ from each other (LOOCV analysis, P=0.002; supplementary material Fig. S1). Transitions that are statistically significantly different between callows and foragers are highlighted in black. For clarity, we show only transitions with average probability >0.1. See Fig. 1 and Table 1 for more details on behavioral states. (C) The difference between average transition probability of foragers and callows. Pr=the probability matrix of foragers subtracted from that of callows. Blue colors represent transitions that are more frequent in foragers; red colors represent transitions that are more frequent in callows (see scale).
