These patterns likely developed, at least in the short terms these antlions were studied, by slow movement of the pits across the trial area, either by live migration or abandonment of old pits (which often occurred). The Voronoi diagrams are the primary source which exhibits these traits: scaled down to the window of the trial area which antlions populated, the area claimed by each individual antlion is somewhat consistent, explicable by a selfish algorithm: each antlion wants to optimize its area of ant capture (represented by ``claimed'' regions on the Voronoi diagrams), so the area was shared about equally by the group. -Also, average distance to nearest neighbor decreased with lesser trial area: from 5--6cm on average in the 33x32cm trial down to 3--3.5cm in tho 8x7cm trial, the graph in Figure 3 demonstrates a clear correlation, with a notable (but inconclusive) p-value of about 8\%, between territorial area and total area. +Also, average distance to nearest neighbor decreased with lesser trial area: from 5--6cm on average in the 33x32cm trial down to 3--3.5cm in the 8x7cm trial, the graph in Figure 3 demonstrates a clear correlation, with a notable (but inconclusive) p-value of about 8\%, between territorial area and total area. Additionally, compensatory behaviors were exhibited which further managed the population: cannibalism and reclusion both prevented surface overpopulation (because when two antlions were too close, one or the other usually occurred) On the scale of individual pits, antlions optimize for energy. Unrelated to their partners' pits size, antlions typically size their pits to capture ants. |
