Comparison between experimental and simulations results for both group sizes (300 and 50 ants)
| Parameter | Mean ± SD (number of replicates) |
|||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 300 ants (exp.) | 300 ants (sim.) | 50 ants (exp.) | 50 ants (sim.) | |
| ω1 | 0.5 ± 0.03 (29) | 0.53 ± 0.00 (30) | 0.56 ± 0.05 (12) | 0.59 ± 0.01 (30) |
| ω2 | 1.84 ± 0.83 (29) | 3.17 ± 0.51 (30) | 1.55 ± 0.62 (12) | 1.66 ± 0.41 (30) |
| ATra | 49.92 ± 23.11 (29) | 69.10 ± 1.18 (30) | 12.60 ± 6.35 (12) | 16.14 ± 1.19 (30) |
| ρTra | 0.038 ± 0.022 (29) | 0.015 ± 0.002 (30) | 0.041 ± 0.045 (12) | 0.031 ± 0.010 (30) |
Experimental results (exp.) are those of experiments with a morphological transition. Simulation results (sim.) are those of nonlinear dynamics condition (AM 300 = 75.18 cm2, AM 50 = 20.18 cm2, θ300 = 1.08, θ50 = 0.38, K = 50, ξ = 0.1 %, ν = 0.05).
