This study examines how movement patterns of mate searchers of a termite Reticulitermes speratus changes according to time. Then investigated how this change in movement patterns affect random search efficiency and mate choice behavior.This includes tracking data, R codes to analyze it, and Cpp code for simulations.

scripts



output.R - output all results

processing.R - data processing of coordinates obtained from servosphere

simulations.R - for data-based simulations

onesim.cpp - functions for simulations



output - all outputs are stored

data



raw - raw data in .csv



ANTAM_4day - directory includes raw data obtained from servosphere. Ignore the first four columns. col4: x, col5: y, col6: time

colonyfoundation.csv - data for colony foundation experiments.

tandem_sum.csv - the number of observations of individual units in each experiment. units include solomale (single male), solofemale (single female), heterotandem (female-male tandem), male tandem (male-male tandem), female tandem (female-female tandem), and tandem3 (tandem run with >= 3 individuals).

tandem_timedevelopment.csv - breakdown of tandem_sum.csv. The measurement was not summarized but for each observation bouts (5: 0-5 min, 10: 5-10 min, ...).

termite_weight.csv - Termite weight measurement. fresh: fresh weight in mg.



fmt - formatted data created in processing.R and simulations.R. The formatted data will be used for output.R. The all formatted data are in .rda files. The .csv files with the same contents are also generated for reviewing purpose.



df_all.rda - The processed data of trajectories for furthur analysis. It has three datafrmaes named df_all (trajectories with traveled distance information for each frame), df_MSD (MSD data for each individual), df_pause (duration of pauses for each pausing events for each individual). The corresponding csv files are df_all.csv, df_MSD.csv, and df_pause.csv

df_sum.rda - The file further processed df_all.rda to summarize all parameters for each individual. df_sum.csv is corresponding.

df_sim.rda - The simulation results that record encounter time for each searching attempts. encounter_time = 1501 indicates the failure to encounter. df_sim.csv is corresponding.
