Figure 5


Fig. 5. Temporal and spatial distribution of reversals on food-bound and homeward routes. (A,D) Examples of reversals on food-bound (A) and homeward (D) routes. (B,E) The proportion of ants whose food-bound (B) and homeward (E) trajectories contain reversals is plotted against run number. (C,F) The distribution of reversals along the food-bound (C) and homeward (F) paths is shown relative to the end of the channel. (G) Starting loops from the feeder. The mean number of loops per trajectory is plotted against run number over three successive days. Loops are defined as round trips from, and back to, the feeder in which the ant travels at least 5 cm from the feeder. Data are from 12 ants performing a total of 259 homeward trajectories. The length of each x axis indicates the total number of training runs on that day.
