a Mean position of the ants against the rank order of the position in the group. For clarity, the data for only four groups is presented that varied in their size from 5 ants to 14 ants. Solid line triangles: 13 ants; solid line, squares: 14 ants; dotted line, circles: 5 ants; dashed line squared: 9 ants. b Average positions occupied by ants in five different segments (from leading edge =1 to tail =5) of the groups; bars indicate the SD for the positions occupied by ants in a segment (n = 8 groups)
