Fig. 5. The brightness test showed that the choice between the horizontal and the
vertical plane of polarized light was made based on the orientation of the
e-vectors, independent of the light intensity of the stimuli (80 trials per
fish, N=4). Each circle represents the percentage of correct choice
frequency (mean ± S.E.M.), when 0°
was dimmer than 90°, whereas each square represents the percentage of
correct choice frequency (mean ±
S.E.M.) when 90° was dimmer than 0°.
The horizontal shaded bands represent the range of choice frequency values
that correspond to significance levels of P=0.001
x and
P=0.01
x
0.001, calculated using the binomial
probability function for 40 Bernoulli trials. The reference e-vector for fish
A and C was 90°, whereas the reference e-vector for fish B and D was
0°.
