Comparison of WT and mutant patterns of locomotion. (A) On crawling curvature matrices, vertical lines distinguish DV head-bend cycles. Corresponding average DV cycle curvature matrix is shown (Right). Number of averaged cycles indicated above. (B) Swimming curvature matrices: dotted vertical lines indicates when animals entered liquid. (C) Crawl escape curvature matrices: dotted vertical lines indicates stimulation time. (D) Average propagation speed of first DV bend for swimming (s; gray) and crawl escape (ce; orange) relative to WT (s, 0.85 sec−1; ce, 1.75 sec−1). Speed not calculated for cca-1 double mutants (N. D.) because of incomplete bend propagation. (E) Average number of DV bends propagated for initial swimming and crawl escape motion before omega bend (Ω) or faint episode (F). Rescue strain unc-80;Punc-80(+) indicated by unc-80(R). Symbols show differences (*) from WT, ($) from unc-80, or (&) from nca-1;nca-2; P < 0.05. n = 15 for each bar. Bars represent SEM with Tukey test of multiple comparison.
