Fig. 1. Immature and mature female and male Drosophila display distinct motor patterns.
Data were collected from min 15 – 20 in an open field arena, during which time the animals had habituated to the novel environment. A – C, motor pattern. A, mean distance moved; B, mean velocity; C, mean turn angle. D –E. Freezing behavior. D, duration not moving; E, frequency not moving. F – G, escape behavior. These included hops of velocity greater than 50 mm/s, as well as short bursts of flight. F, duration highly mobile; G, frequency of high mobility * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, **** p < 0.0001, two-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni post tests. n = 40 for each population..
