From: Circadian rhythm and surface activity in soil-dwelling caecilians (Amphibia: Gymnophiona)
Comparison of mean surface activity and individual surface-activity episodes of three caecilian species in LD, DD and DL cycles. (a) Mean daily activity of individuals of Gegeneophis tejaswini (n = 5), Ichthyophis cf. longicephalus (n = 3), and Uraeotyphlus cf. oxyurus (n = 5) in three cycles. Values are shown as mean ± SE. (b) The box plot represents the duration of activity episodes in the three species. **** p < 0.001, ***p < 0.01 and *p < 0.05. Statistical comparison of mean activity of species and duration of activity of species were undertaken using Kruskal–Wallis with a post-hoc Dunn test.
