Flight submit 1.4 ± 0.4 1.4 ± 0.3 2.1 ± 0.5 2.4 ± 0.6
Flight escape 13.9 ± 0.9 16.7 ± 0.9 17.8 ± 1.3* 17.9 ± 1.0*
Head/body shake 0.9 ± 0.4 1.6 ± 0.4 1.3 ± 0.4 4.5 ± 1.8*
Total behaviour 1664 ± 78 493 ± 126 1532 ± 92 1538 ± 43

Values indicate mean ± SEM percentage values of total behaviours for each motivational category except head/body shake and total behaviours are mean ± SEM of absolute values.
