Figure 6
Daily activity pattern by age groups as calculated using different activity monitoring models on logarithmic scale.
Average diet-, age- and model-specific activity patterns of A. ludens females through a 24-hour period. Each line represents the diurnal rest-activity patterns of A. ludens females averaged over eleven-day periods, ages 15–25, 50–60 and 80–90. (A–C) Females reared using full diet; (D–F) Females reared using sugar diet (n = 16). Activity, plotted on the Y-axis, is on a logarithmic scale to show detail profile of each model. Dark bar below chart indicates the daily 12-hour dark (lights-off) period; white bar indicates the 12-hour light period. ZT0 indicates the time when lights turn on and ZT12 indicates the time when lights turn off. Results from EBS (enclosure bisection simulation) X- axis and Y-axis bisections are represented by dark and light orange lines. Five blue-shaded lines from dark to light depict the results from DDS (distance displacement simulation) 20 mm, 15 mm, 10 mm, 5 mm and 2 mm models. Red lines denote the activity levels calculated by the BMS.
