Distribution of free-running periods of locomotor rhythms of individual crickets Gryllus bimaculatus. Crickets were treated with DsRed2 RNAi, Gb’cry1 RNAi (dsGb’cry1#d1, dsGb’cry1#d2), Gb’cry2 RNAi (dsGb’cry2#d1, dsGb’cry2#d2), or both Gb’cry1 RNAi and Gb’cry2 RNAi and their locomotor rhythms were measured under DD at a constant temperature of 25 °C. Blue and red dots indicate individual and average values, respectively. Gb’cry1 RNAi crickets showed a similar distribution to that of control, DsRed2 RNAi crickets. The distribution is widely ranging from 23.2 to 25.0 h in Gb’cry2 RNAi crickets, and the range is even greater in Gb’cry1/Gb’cry2 double RNAi crickets. For further explanations, see the text
