Figure 5

EOD in resident male RM4 before (short duration, 356 μs) and after exchanging its two familiar neighbours for two stranger males. EODs normalised to the same positive peak amplitude P. Voltage over time (baseline = 0 V), head-positivity is upwards. Time in μs as indicated by time bar. The EOD of longer duration (2029 μs) was sampled 25 days after introducing the stranger males. Note an increase of both P and N (head-negative) phase duration of the EOD.
