ReadMe1_16 for Henze MJ, Lind O, Mappes J, Rojas B, Kelber A (2018) An aposematic colour-polymorphic moth seen through the eyes of conspecifics and predators - sensitivity and colour discrimination in a tiger moth. Functional Ecology. 2018-01-13 This readme file describes 16 data files accompanying figure 2 in the above publication. For further queries, please contact miri@mhenze.net. The following files are included: A) Electroretinograms (ERGs) of the dark-adapted compound eyes of the wood tiger moth (Arctia plantaginis) 1_DataRelatedToFig2_Female1_IntensityResponse_ArctiaPlantaginis.xlsx 2_DataRelatedToFig2_Female2_IntensityResponse_ArctiaPlantaginis.xlsx 3_DataRelatedToFig2_Female3_IntensityResponse_ArctiaPlantaginis.xlsx 4_DataRelatedToFig2_Female4_IntensityResponse_ArctiaPlantaginis.xlsx 5_DataRelatedToFig2_Female5_IntensityResponse_ArctiaPlantaginis.xlsx 6_DataRelatedToFig2_Female6_IntensityResponse_ArctiaPlantaginis.xlsx 7_DataRelatedToFig2_Male1_IntensityResponse_ArctiaPlantaginis.xlsx 8_DataRelatedToFig2_Male2_IntensityResponse_ArctiaPlantaginis.xlsx 9_DataRelatedToFig2_Male3_IntensityResponse_ArctiaPlantaginis.xlsx 10_DataRelatedToFig2_Male4_IntensityResponse_ArctiaPlantaginis.xlsx 11_DataRelatedToFig2_Male5_IntensityResponse_ArctiaPlantaginis.xlsx 12_DataRelatedToFig2_Male6_IntensityResponse_ArctiaPlantaginis.xlsx 13_DataRelatedToFig2_Male7_IntensityResponse_ArctiaPlantaginis.xlsx 14_DataRelatedToFig2_Male8_IntensityResponse_ArctiaPlantaginis.xlsx Description: Each of the files 1 to 14 contains electroretinograms (ERGs) recorded from the dark-adapted compound eye of a wood tiger moth (Arctia plantaginis) for a series of flashes of white light of different intensities. Recordings at different times of the day are listed in different sheets. The light intensity is stated in log units relative to the maximum (= 0). In each sheet, the first column indicates the time since stimulus onset (light on) in seconds; all following columns give the respective response in mV. Responses are arranged from the highest to the lowest light intensity, but were recorded in reverse order. B) Response amplitude of ERGs of the dark-adapted compound eyes of the wood tiger moth (Arctia plantaginis) against intensity of light flash 15_DataRelatedToFig2_ResponseAmplitudeAgainstIntensityOfFlash_ArctiaPlantaginis.xlsx Description: File 15 contains the response amplitudes of the ERGs in files 1 to 14 listed against the intensity of the light flash. The intensity is given in log units relative to the maximal intensity (=0), and the response amplitude is the voltage change from stimulus onset to maximal hyperpolarization in mV. Different sheets include the data of different individuals. C) Parameters of the Naka Rushton functions fitted to the response-intensity relationships of the dark-adapted compound eyes in the wood tiger moth (Arctia plantaginis) 16_DataRelatedToFig2_ParametersOfNakaRushtonFunctions_ArctiaPlantaginis.xlsx Description: File 16 contains the parameters of the Naka Rushton functions fitted to the response-intensity relationships presented in file 15. Vmax is the asymptotic maximal response amplitude as estimated by the Naka Rushton fit. K is the intensity in log units that elicits a half-maximal response (Vmax/2), and Slope the slope of the Naka Rushton function at K.
