Fig. 5. Percentage of newts swimming upstream to the site of arginine analog or
control (stream water) solution release. Each compound was tested at
105 mol l1, with separate experiments
performed for (A) carboxyl substitutions, (B) amine substitutions, (C) carbon
chain substitutions, and (D) guanidinium substitutions. Arg, arginine; Guan,
guanidine; AGB, agmatine; AME, arginine methyl ester; GAA, guanidinacetate;
GBA, guanidinobutyrate; HA, homoarginine; AGPA,
-amino-ß-guanidinopropionate; Lys, lysine; NA,
N-
-nitro-L-arginine; NV, norvaline. Asterisks
denotes a significant difference between larval responses to test and control
(stream water) solutions, using a Fisher exact test (P<0.05).
