Figure 4. Motor activity levels.

Figure 4

Adult ecd1 males treated at 29°C to reduce ecdysteroid availability show similar levels of spontaneous locomotor activity as wild-type males. Flies were placed in courtship chambers without courtship targets and analyzed for 10 minutes. Activity of wild-type decreased when fed 10−3M 20E during the 48-hour treatment at 29°C (* indicates p < 0.05), but this was not the case with ecd1 males. The number of centerline crossings was counted, and is presented as number of crossings per minute. P values are from Student t-test, values inside bars are means and whiskers indicate SEM.
