Student’s unpaired t tests comparing immature females and mature females (1F : 5F), and immature males and mature males (1M : 5M). Direction of arrow indicates whether the assayed behavior increased (up arrow) or decreased (down arrow) in the mature populations. n = 30 for each population (40 for locomotion).
