Cue-Mediated Recruitment in a Swarm-Founding Wasp: Successful Foragers Induce Nestmates to Search Off Nest for a Scented Carbohydrate Resource

Table 2

Arrivals at the training and testing stations during the pretesting and testing phases. Column 2: number of marked foragers making one or more trips to the training station. Columns 3–11: numbers of arrivals. Only the marked foragers visiting the training station (column 3) were allowed to make repeated visits. All others were captured and held on ice upon arrival; therefore, columns 4 and 6–11 represent both numbers of arrivals and numbers of individuals arriving.
