Figure 2. Pseudopod angles.

Figure 2

A. Pseudopod extension was analyzed for the angle ϕ 1,2 between current and next splitting pseudopod, yielding a bimodal von Mises distribution with mean ϕ = +/−55 degrees and SD = 28 degrees with 736 pseudopodia. B. The angle ϕ 1,3 between current and next-next pseudopod exhibit a single distribution with mean ϕ = 2 degrees and SD = 42 degrees with 736 pseudopodia. Panel C shows that the angle between current and next pseudopod does not depend on the angle between current and previous pseudopod. D. Schematic of the alternating extension of Right/Left pseudopod splitting. E. The angle between current pseudopod and the next de novo pseudopod, demonstrating a nearly uniform distribution with 206 pseudopodia. Data in this figure were obtained from 3, 5 and 7h staved cells (see also Table 1).
