Anomalous diffusion.

Cornitermes cumulans termites exhibit anomalous diffusion () in their walking patterns because the mean squared displacement grows faster than it does in the normal diffusion of a Brownian particle (black), where . MSD superdiffusive scaling exponent values of four termite workers are (purple), (green), (blue) and (red). Notice that the termite MSD scaling separate away from a power-law at values of and beyond, this is common and correspond to the typical diffusive behaviour of truncated motion in confined environments. is the diffusion coefficient of each individual termite.
