Fig 1. Habitat occupancy is independent of rearing condition.

(A) Scaffold plate. (B) Occupancy experiment schematic. Animals were introduced at the start site on the opposite side of the food patches. The 2D and 3D patches were placed on the opposite side and 1 cm from each other. Animals were left to roam the plate overnight after which the number of animals in each location was counted. (C) Occupancy index for animals grown on scaffold plates and agar plates when (left) both patches had the same food concentration 1:1 patch valence and (right) when the 3D patch was diluted 3-folds compared to the 2D patch 3:1 patch valence (n = 20–30 animals per replicate, *** p < 0.0001, error bars are standard error mean).
