PDF signaling promotes dispersal during habituation training. a Representative trajectories during a 20 s interval at the beginning (0–20 s), middle (140–160 s), and end (280–300 s) of the habituation assay with thirty 2 s light pulses delivered at 0.1 Hz. Individual tracks were randomly assigned colors and set to start from the same point. N = 4 plates/strain. Scale bar = 1 mm b Displacement (shortest distance between the start and endpoint) over the first and final 30 s of the assay for the PDF signaling mutants. c Displacement over the first and final 30 s of the assay for PDF signaling mutant rescue lines. ‘#’ denotes a significant increase in displacement (one-tailed, P < 0.01, with Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons) over the assay. Circles are plate means, crosses are population means  ±  SEM
