The daily and hourly progress of a representative move.

<p>Rates per minute are the means of 3 closely spaced, 2-minute counts, with groups of counts 30–45 minutes apart. Traffic usually slowed during the mid-day temperature maximum (upper grey line and scale). Peak traffic increased day by day until days 4 and 5, and then declined to lower levels for the remainder of the move, which in this case took 8 days. Different colored lines indicate the rates of workers to and from the new nest, and brood, seeds, callows and charcoal to the new nest. These data are summarized in several ways for all the multiply-sampled colonies in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0112981#pone-0112981-g014" target="_blank">Figs. 14</a>–<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0112981#pone-0112981-g017" target="_blank">17</a>.
