Figure 1
Representative actograms of the Spotted Munia kept under different food conditions (ad libitum = control, left panel and restricted feeding (Treatments I and II), middle panel). Right panel shows the activity profile across 24 h day under different food conditions for the number of days marked as a, b and c on the right actogram. Bars below each actogram show the light:dark (12L:12D) cycle. The time of lights ON is marked as ZT 0. In the activity profile the hashed area shows the time of food availability. * indicates the significance at p < 0.0001, one-way RM ANOVA.

Mean (± SEM) activity counts and food intake in Spotted Munia held under different food conditions. (a) total counts and food intake per day in control (C) and different food conditions (TI and TII). (b) activity counts and food intake in 6 hours of food availability in treatment I (TI) and corresponding hours in ad libitum group (CI) (c) and in treatment II (TII) and corresponding hours in ad libitum group (CII) (d) activity counts and food intake during ZT 0–2, 4–6 and 8–10 (TI) and corresponding hours in control group (CI) (e) and during ZT 2–4, 6–8 and 10–12 (TII) and corresponding hours in control group (CII), (f) activity counts and food intake in the hours of food presence in both the treatment groups (TI and TII). # indicates significance at p < 0.05; Student’s unpaired t-test, * indicates time dependent effects and $ indicates food treatment dependent effects, significance at p < 0.0001; two-way RM ANOVA (Bonferroni post test).
