Leadership -- not followership -- determines performance in ant teams

<p>Dataset for the paper, &#39;<em>Leadership -- not followership -- determines performance&nbsp;in ant teams</em>&#39; by Richardson,&nbsp;Coti,&nbsp;Stroeymeyt &amp; Keller, Communications Biology, 2021, in press.</p> <p><strong>Description of &#39;Tandem_running_emigrations_1-5.txt&#39; :</strong></p> <p>A dataset recording the occurrence of tandem runs, occurring within the context of colony emigration by the ant <em>Temnothorax nylanderi</em>.</p> <p>The identity of the leading and following&nbsp;ant are given by the &#39;leader&#39; and &#39;follower&#39; columns.&nbsp;</p> <p>The start and end time of each tandem run are indicated by the time columns.</p> <p>The location of the nest from which the tandem departs, and at which it arrives (if successful) are given by the columns, &#39;Leaves_From&#39; and &#39;Arrives_at&#39;.</p> <p>Whether the tandem pair succeeded in travelling all the way to the new nest without breaking up, is denoted in the &#39;Success_or_Fail_or_Switch&#39; column.</p> <p>Tandem runs in which the identity of the following ant changed during the run are also&nbsp;indicated in the &#39;Success_or_Fail_or_Switch&#39; column.</p> <p>The location of the break-up (if any) is contained in the X and Y columns.</p> <p>The data in this file is analysed in Figure 1 in the main paper.</p> <p><strong>Description of files, &#39;Per-tandem_task_switching ... csv&#39; :</strong></p> <p>These two files give the per-tandem switching probability data data analysed in Figure 2 in the main paper.</p> <p><strong>Description of files, &#39;Colony_mean,... csv&#39; :</strong></p> <p>These three files contain the colony means for each of the three performance metrics, as used in&nbsp;Figure&nbsp;3c-e in the main paper.</p> <p><strong>Description of files, &#39;Multi-model_inference, ... txt&#39; :</strong></p> <p>These three files each contain a table listing the mixed models in the&nbsp;95% confidence set. There is one file for each of the three performance metrics. The predictors in the model are specified in teh &#39;Model&#39; column, using the common formula notation common in S+ and R. The &#39;weight&#39;, &#39;cumulative weight&#39; and &#39;Evidence ratio&#39; are used to produce the barplots shown in Figure 4 in the main paper.</p> <p><strong>Description of files, &#39;Removal_list,remove_......txt&#39; :</strong></p> <p>Contains a list of individuals that were removed from the colony between the fourth and fifth emigrations. See the descriptions in the paper for further details.</p>
