Fig. 9. Analysis of biting activity across the first meal on disks containing water
(H2O), 200 mmol l–1 glucose, 200 mmol
l–1 sucrose, 1 mmol l–1 inositol or binary
mixtures of the carbohydrates. We show (A) bite size, (B) total number of
bites emitted and (C) meal duration. Within each panel, we compare medians
(±median absolute deviation) with Dunn's multiple comparison test;
different letters (a, b, c or combinations of each) above the bars indicate
medians that differ significantly from one another (P
0.05). The
absence of letters above the bars in panel A reflects a lack of significant
difference among the medians (according to a Kruskal–Wallis test,
P>0.05). N=19–25 caterpillars per taste
stimulus.
