Column Name,Details
which_comb,The name of the image from which the cell data was obtained
cell_idx,Cell index; each cell is given a unique id for each comb image
cell_pos,"Cell position, in pixels, relative to the transition line (transition line is only applicable to species which have cell size dimorphism)"
cell_area,"Cell area, in pixels"
cell_area_norm,"Cell area, normalized to the median worker cell area (i.e., cell_area_norm = 0; this cell is the median worker cell size)"
num_of_walls,"Number of walls a cell has (i.e., number of neighboring cells). "
cell_tilt,"Cell tilt (i.e., the orientation of the cell relative to the x-y plane) was calculated using the Kabasch Algorithm. For each hexagonal cell, we calculated the optimal rotation for a perfect, similarly sized, reference hexagon to align with the observed data and used that rotation angle as the cell tilt. All"
worker_drone,"Categorical variable: worker, drone, other. ""Worker"" cells are cells used for rearing workers (small hexagons). ""Drone"" cells are reproductive cells (in Apis, would be drones; in Vespula, reproductive cells). Drone cells are larger than worker cells, depending on the size dimorphism for the species. ""Other"" are cells that fall on either side of the transition, and so cannot be easily differentiated. "
species,The species of insect that built the comb
cell_pos_median,"Cell position, rescaled to units of median worker wall lengths. "
cell_pos_median_round,"This is a rounded value of ""cell_pos_median"", rounded to the nearest half-wall length"
rep_w_diff,Cell-size dimorphism between reproductive and worker cells
stdev,Standard deviation of the cell-size dimorphism
count_non_hex,Number of non-hexagonal cells at the transition point
total_count,Total number of cells at the transition point
prop_non_hex,Proportion of non-hexagonal cells at the transition point
ci_low,Lower confidence interval for the proportion of non-hexagonal cells at the transition point (95% CI)
ci_upp,Upper confidence interval for the proportion of non-hexagonal cells at the transition point (95% CI)
X,x-coordinate value
Y,y-coordinate value
Species Key,The species of insect that built the comb
