a Extent to which the simulated ants shifted to different positions from their respective positions (0) in forward (positive steps) or backward (negative steps) directions. Graph shows the jumps for the leading ant (dark solid bar), for the ant at position 5 (shaded bar), at position 7 (Open bar) and the tail ant (open bar with thick border), b Average frequencies of jumps for simulated ants from their respective positions (0) in forward (positive steps) or backward (negative steps) directions. This graph has data pooled for all the ten ants unlike in Fig. 5a where only four of the ten ants are represented. c Standard deviation for the number of steps jumped by the ants at different positions in the group in the simulated group movement
