Table 3 Formal summary of the results shown in Tables 1 and 2.

From: Locomotor activity in common spiny mice (Acomys cahirinuse): The effect of light and environmental complexity

  

Dark vs. light

With lights on

With lights off

Level of activity

Distance traveled and speed

Longer distances

Increase with stone density

Remains high

Temporal structure

# of stops and trips

More stops and trips

More stones = more stops and trips

 
 

Trip length

Shorter trips

More stones = sorter trips

 
 

Stops/trip

Fewer stops/trip

Did not change

Decreased

Spatial distribution

Path shape

Winding (zigzag) paths

More stones = straighter path

 
 

Time and stops at the perimeter

More time and stops in center

More stones = more time and stops in center
