Fig. 2.

Mean proportion of dance followers (±s.e.) in multiple-patriline and single-patriline colonies that, within 2 min after they stopped attending their focal dance, either exited the hive, remained on the dance floor, or moved off the dance floor (but not out of the hive), as well as the mean proportion of workers that followed a second dance during this interval (regardless of which of the three actions they took by the end of 2 min). Proportions were based on observations of dance followers that attended dances that advertised a feeder that contained 1.0 or 2.0 M sucrose solution (data were pooled across concentrations). Asterisks indicate the actions for which there was a significant difference in proportion between colony types
