Time resolution (within a day) | 0.5 sec |
Time span (within a day) | 24 hours |
Description | Networks represent six separate colonies of the ant. The authors recorded the position and orientation of all individuals twice per second to reconstruct spatial movement and infer all social interactions occurring over the 41 days of the experiment. |
Citation | Mersch, Danielle P., Alessandro Crespi, and Laurent Keller. "Tracking individuals shows spatial fidelity is a key regulator of ant social organization."Science 340.6136 (2013): 1090-1093. |
Edge timestamps | Third column encodes the weights for the edges and the fourth column represents the edge timestamps. If the graph is unweighted (has only 3 columns), then the third column represents the timestamps.For this temporal network, edge timestamps are not recorded at the finest granularity (sec. or ms.) and are instead discrete approximations of the actual temporal network. Unfortunately, the actual edge timestamps, that is, when the interactions were actually observed (e.g., at the level of seconds) has not been provided.Hence, one can create a sequence of static snapshot graphs by aggregating all edges that occur at each unique edge timestamp and repeating this for all edge timestamps. |

Interactive Visualization of Node-level Properties and Statistics
Tools for Interactive Exploration of Node-level Statistics
Visualize and interactively explore insecta-ant-colony2
and its important node-level statistics!
- Each point represents a node (vertex) in the graph.
- A subset of interesting nodes may be selected and their properties may be visualized across all node-level statistics. To select a subset of nodes, hold down the left mouse button while dragging the mouse in any direction until the nodes of interest are highlighted.This feature allows users to explore and analyze various subsets of nodes and their important interesting statistics and properties to gain insights into the graph data
- Zoom in/out on the visualization you created at any point by using the buttons below on the left.
- Once a subset of interesting nodes are selected, the user may further analyze by selecting and drilling down on any of the interesting properties using the left menu below.
- We also have tools for interactively visualizing, comparing, and exploring the graph-level properties and statistics.
