Fig. 9. Running velocity of escaping crabs. (A) Running velocity plotted against relative distance home (d/D). Red lines, crabs that ran over the patch and stopped before reaching home; blue lines, crabs that ran over the patch but did not stop before reaching home; black lines, control crabs that did not run over a patch. Red and blue lines are solid where the crabs were on the patch. (B) Mean of running velocity profiles plotted against relative distance home (d/D). Controls (including both no-patch and non-slippers), black line; slippers, red line; lines are mean running velocity ± S.D. (dotted lines). (C) Mean of running velocity profiles of controls (no patch, black line) and non-slippers (blue line) plotted against relative time until first stop (t/T); lines are mean running velocity ± S.D. (dotted lines). (D) Same data as in B but plotted against relative time until first stop (t/T).
