Figure 5. Variability within a species, long timescale transitions, and hidden states modulating behavior.

(A) A cartoon of the hypothesized relation between individual variability within a species and long timescale transitions through hidden states. (B) Accounting for the long timescale dynamics - by adjusting for the amount of time spent in each coarse-grained region (here, the six cluster solution at the top right of Figure 4C) - affects the measured behavioral distributions between D. santomea and D. yakuba. Shown is the comparison of the Mahalanobis distance (${(z^b)}_{ij}$) between behavioral distributions before (x-axis) and after (y-axis) adjusting. (C) Kernel density estimates of the distributions for the circled behaviors in (B) on the left before (left) and after (right) adjustments. Solid lines represent D. santomea and dashed lines represent D. yakuba.
