Fig.3 in Keeping cool: Enhanced optical reflection and radiative heat dissipation in Saharan silver ants

Fig.3. Resultsof thermodynamicexperiments. (A) Thermal camera images showing the head of an ant specimen at the thermal steady state un- der different conditions. Temporal temperature profiles measured for the head before and after hair removal in vacuum (B) and in still air (C) are shown.(Dto F) Resultsobtained for thehind part (gaster) of an ant specimen.Insets in (B) and (E) are photos of specimens before and after hair removal.In the "hairs intact" picturesof head and gaster, because of the limited solid angle of illumination,the silvery glance is not shown all over the bodysurface portrayed inthe figures.
