Table 3 Statistical comparisons of locomotor-activity parameters of the ablation experiment: E1 (evening peak of activity 1), E2 (evening peak of activity 2) and PMI (peak matching index). ANOVA with Tukey’s post-hoc test used to compare parameters among treatments. Results of pairwise comparisons for each parameter are shown as superscript letters; in each column the different letters represent significant difference among treatments

From: Locomotor activity in males of Aedes aegypti can shift in response to females’ presence
