Fig. 1

Heat map displaying the behaviour of ant hosts towards different species of silverfish (ant behaviour) and the behavioural repertoire of the silverfish (silverfish behaviour, see also Table 2). The hosts of the silverfish are abbreviated (following Table 1). Some silverfish species were associated and tested with multiple hosts. N number of behavioural trials per host-silverfish pair. The darkness of the colour in the heat map positively correlates with the frequency that a behaviour in a silverfish-ant pair is observed compared to other silverfish-ant pairs. Significant differences (P < 0.05) among the four functional groups for each behaviour are indicated with an *
