Figure 1 Map of field sites where experimental colonies were placed (white dots, surrounded by black circles indicating the 1 km radius landscapes) in Colusa, Solano and Yolo counties in the northern Central Valley of California, USA (NW: N38 5818.02 N, 122°02’44.90”W; SE: 38°27’59.07”N, 121°38’22.42”W). Imagery acquired though Google Earth v. 7.3.2.5776 (September 2017).
Figure 2 Mean ± 95% CI of modeled rates of colony growth (λ) during pulse and during off-pulse (ambient resource level) periods for early-pulse (black) and late-pulse (grey) colonies.
Figure 3 Mean modeled growth trajectories (bold lines) for early-pulse (black) and late-pulse (grey) colonies and modeled growth trajectories for individual colonies (thin lines). Vertical lines denote the 20-day intervals during which early-pulse and late-pulse colonies received supplemental food.
