Recurrence analysis of ant activity patterns

In this study, we used recurrence quantification analysis (RQA) and recurrence plots (RPs) to compare the movement activity of individual workers of three ant species, as well as a gregarious beetle species. RQA and RPs quantify the number and duration of recurrences of a dynamical system, including a detailed quantification of signals that could be stochastic, deterministic, or both. First, we found substantial differences between the activity dynamics of beetles and ants, with the results suggesting that the beetles have quasi-periodic dynamics and the ants do not. Second, workers from different ant species varied with respect to their dynamics, presenting degrees of predictability as well as stochastic signals. Finally, differences were found among minor and major caste of the same (dimorphic) ant species. Our results underscore the potential of RQA and RPs in the analysis of complex behavioral patterns, as well as in general inferences on animal behavior and other biological phenomena.

“…It seems unlikely that so great a difference would exist between species in the same genus, and these data may have been obtained from insects bred under unfavourable conditions. However, in other species the number of instars seems always to be large ; thus Tenebrio molitor has from 15 to 21 instars (median 17), according to Cotton (1927), while Hein (1920) gives the number of instars in tthis species as 10-16.

A comparative study of the external morphology of 46 species of the more common coleopterous larvae. The antennae and ocelli exhibit wide variation. From the fronto-dorsal aspect, the generalized structure of the head is shown, with which may be compared the modifications which occur and which lead to the disappearance of all the sutures separating the different areas found in this region. From the postero-ventral aspect, the heads are divided into two distinct groups, those that possess a gular area and those that do not. Here again, the specialization is compared with the generalized condition. Where a gula occurs, its development is first traced through the series, and then its gradual suppression, due to specialization, is illustrated. The disappearance of sutures causes the head-capsule to become very compact and heavily sclerotized, and this condition is found to be more general and complete in the campodeiform type of larvae.
