Fig. 5. Proportion of observations of reaching maximal sprint speed after first and after second acceleration peak in A. sagrei, A. carolinensis and A. valencienni on broad and narrow dowel. (A) A. sagrei, (B) A. carolinensis and (C) A. valencienni. Black bars, maximal acceleration after the first peak; grey bars, maximal acceleration after a subsequent peak. Only those sequences in which maximal sprint speed was attained after the first or second acceleration peak were used in the analyses. The actual number of observations per group is indicated in brackets.
