Figure 7
Effect of dechorionation on behaviour. (a) Schematic representation of the C. intestinalis embryo development inside the chorion (top) in untreated animals compared to dechorionation and subsequent development of a dechorionated embryo (bottom). We present dechorionation effects on (b) median speed, (c) maximum speed, (d) path complexity, (e) activity coefficient and thigmotaxis measures (f) TTO and (g) TDO. Chorionated animals are denoted as C, dechorionated as D. (h) Polar scatterplots of filtered speed values vs turn values for dechorionated (purple) animals compared to chorionated animals (teal). (i) Distribution of behavioural modes for the two groups. The modes underlined in the legend are the biggest contributors to the Chi2 statistics (data in Supplemental Table 1) (N(C) = 101, N(D) = 74; number of points per polar plot is 100,000).
