Daily results of the sun-basking experiments 1 and 2.

The total number of hot spot visits recorded for each experimental day (total N visits), the cumulative duration of all hot spot visits and the total number of ants observed sun basking (N ants) on a given day are depicted. The second part of the table shows the estimated values for one ant and one visit. Information about time (cumulative duration, time spent per 1 ant, duration of 1 visit) is given as hours:minutes:seconds (h:min:sec). Note that data from experiment 2 are only from those ants whose ID tags remained and were therefore identifiable. Unidentified individuals were not included in the table.
