Table 2. Adult locomotor activity rhythms with UAS Mef2-EnR and UAS-Mef2RNAi.
Lomb-Scargle analysis of adult locomotor activity showing period (in hr) with SEM, power (to indicate the strength of the rhythm), the number of flies analyzed (n), and the numbers of either arrhythmic flies (AR, top) or the numbers of flies that were arrhythmic from days 7–12 in the assay despite starting off as rhythmic (bottom).
