Figure 2

Frequency-dependent light stimuli transmitted by artificial light organs determine nearest neighbor distance of A. katoptron. (a) Experimental setup for the validation of changes in nearest neighbor distance. Artificial light organs of a center placed dummy were emitting different light stimulations. (b) Average distance between A. katoptron and the fish dummy equipped with artificial light organs (n = 10). (c) Heat Maps indicate positioning of A. katoptron in relation to no light (c1) or light (c2,c3) emitting dummy. Heat Maps are based on all trajectories recorded for each stimulation (n = 10). Figures were created with SigmaPlot 12.0 (www.sigmaplot.co.uk) and processed with CorelDraw Graphics Suite 2017 (www.coreldraw.com). DC, dark control. Significance values are reported as: *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.
