Figure 2


Fig. 2. Experimental tests and measures. (A) Response of a subordinate crayfish separated from its dominant partner by an opaque divider. (Ai) Before the stimulus touch. (Aii) After the touch; the animal has turned to face the source of the touch. (B) Response of a subordinate in the presence of its dominant partner. (Bi) Before the stimulus touch. (Bii) After the touch, the animal moved forward away from the touch site. (C,D) Diagrams describing measurements of the HP distance and the angle {gamma} values in orienting and avoidance responses. The open crayfish outline shows the position of the animal before stimulus; the gray crayfish shows the position of the animal after stimulus. The HP distance is the distance from the head (H) to the point of probe contact (P). {gamma} is the angle between the body axis and the HP line segment. (C) Orienting responses. (Ci) Both {gamma} and HP are small when an animal pivots backwards to face the probe. (Cii) {gamma} is large and HP is small when an animal turns and advances past the probe. (D) Avoidance responses. (Di) {gamma} becomes small and HP becomes large when an animal walks backwards away from the probe. (Dii) {gamma} and HP both become large when an animal walks forward away from the probe.
