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).
