Double-plotted actograms of locomotor activity of adult male crickets Gryllus bimaculatus under LD 12:12 and DD. a, b, and c show representative records of intact crickets (a) and those treated with dsRNA against DsRed2 (b) or Gb’E(z) (c). Arrowheads indicate the day when the crickets were transferred from LD 12:12 to DD, at a constant temperature of 25 ± 0.5 °C. α and ρ indicate active phase and rest phase, respectively. Dotted lines indicate the onset and offset of the active phase. White and black bars above the actogram indicate the light and the dark phase, respectively. Gray area in the actogram indicates the dark phase
