Percentage of wake averaged for each hour of the day, by population and by sex. Both are nocturnal species, with percentage of wake increasing sharply at dark onset. Notably, A. cahirinus have high wake values (over 80%) for only two hours after dark onset LD 12:12. Values represent percentage mean ± SD.
