Fig. 6. Relation of energy losses and gains expressed in µW for different nectar
flow-rates and concentrations. Energy expenditures are measured metabolic rate
of ant workers and the energy gain is calculated from the sucrose
concentration and flow rate delivery of sugar solution from the artificial
feeder. (a) 0.236 µl min–1 flow rate and 1% sucrose
concentration, (b) 1.18 µl min–1 and 1%, (c) 0.236 µl
min–1 and 5%, (d) 1.18 µl min–1 and 5%,
(e) 0.236 µl min–1 and 30%, (f) 2.36 µl
min–1 and 5%, (g) 1.18 µl min–1 and 10%,
(h) 1.18 µl min–1 and 30%, (i) 1.18 µl
min–1 and 50%, and (j) 2.36 µl min–1 and
30%. Note the logarithmic scale of the x-axis.
