Genotypic differences in emergence time (in seconds): the plot represents genotypic differences in emergence time (in seconds), as noted in the main text. Data are from the first experiment measuring exploratory behavior. The y-axis represents the natural log of emergence time in seconds. A lower emergence time indicates higher exploratory behavior, while a higher emergence time represents lower exploratory behavior (N = 526 flies). The box in the plot represents the inter-quartile range of scores, including the middle 50% of scores for the group, with the median score represented by the middle quartile mark (or line). The whiskers represent the score ranges outside the inter-quartile range, including the top 25% of scores for the group in the upper whisker, and the bottom 25% of scores in the lower whisker. Our findings indicated significant genotypic differences in exploratory behavior.
