Flight ability of the hoverfly Episyrphus balteatus on tethered flight mills

Daellenbach_etal_Ebalteatus_flight_behaviour

Flight behaviour data for the hoverfly Episyrphus balteatus, obtained from tethered flight mills

Descriptive statistics for the lifetime activity of four bees.

<p>Descriptive statistics for the lifetime activity of four bees.</p

Flight paths of every flight made by four bees.

<p>Each panel represents the lifetime activity of a single bee. The position of the nest is marked by a blue circle. Each individual flight is shown in a different colour, the earliest flights undertaken by each bee in green, changing smoothly through yellow until the last flights in each bee’s life are shown in red. Grey dashed lines are used to join radar observations made more than 30 s apart, when the bee’s location was uncertain. A-D): flights of Bee 1–4 respectively.</p

Flight paths of initial exploratory flights of four bees.

<p>The position of the nest is marked by a blue circle. Colours represent the time from the start of each flight: initial portion of each flight is in green, changing smoothly through yellow until the end of the flight is shown in red. Grey dashed lines are used to join radar observations made more than 30 s apart, when the bee’s location was uncertain. A-D): flights of Bee 1–4 respectively.</p

Comparison of flight characteristics of exploitation and exploration flights.

<p>Boxes show median and interquartile range, and whiskers represent the range of the data. Outliers have been removed for clarity (outliers defined as data-points lying more than 1.5 times the interquartile range outside the quartiles). 1-4A) flight duration of exploration and exploitation flights for Bee 1–4 respectively; 1-4B) time in flight; 1-4C) flight distance; 1-4D) digressiveness scores. Note that the ordinates differ in scale due to high levels of inter-individual variation.</p

Comparison of characteristics of exploitation flights made to the first or second destination exploited by Bees 1 and 4.

<p>Boxes show median and interquartile range, and whiskers represent the range of the data. Outliers have been removed for clarity (outliers defined as data points lying more than 1.5 times the interquartile range outside the quartiles). 1-2A) Flight duration of exploration visits to the 1^st and 2^nd location exploited by Bees 1 and 4, respectively; 1-2B) time in flight; 1-2C) flight distance; 1-2D) digressiveness score. Note that the ordinates differ in scale due to high levels of inter-individual variation.</p
