Table 2. Number of lateralized (L: Left; R: Right) and non lateralized (N: Neutral) individuals found in each population.

L N R LI Left % Right % p
Butiondo 1 6 3 0.2 28% 72% <0.01
Caleta de Famara 0 5 5 0.5 13% 87% <0.001
La Oliva 0 4 6 0.6 8% 92% <0.001
Nazaret-Teguise 0 9 1 0.1 41% 59% >0.05
Yaiza 1 7 2 0.1 10% 90% <0.001
Species Level 2 31 17 0.3 22% 78% <0.001

Lateralization Index (LI) = (right runs−left runs)/(right runs+neutral runs+left runs). Left% and Right% represent the percentage of times that all the lateralized individuals (left and right) chose the left or right refuge. Fisher exact test P two-tailed was used only with lateralized individuals, in order to test if left- and right- lateralized individual were equally common at population or species level (see also Figure 2).
