Number of tested individuals and the percentages of male moths, for the experiments shown in Figures 2B,D, which started their flight, showed upwind movement, and had source contact; also, their upwind speed. The last column includes the number of contacts for all tested males. The stimuli were applied as described in Table 1. SD, standard deviation.
