(A) Probability plots for hunting behaviors exhibited by feed state. (Ai) Specific monitoring shows a slight increase in the 2-fed animals with a statistical difference relative to the 4-fed state (ANOVA: p = 0.0054). Decreasing probabilities of both specific rotation (Aii) and translation (Aiii) as satiety increases (ANOVA: p <0.0001 and p = 0.0018, respectively). (Aiv) Number of missed strikes per subsequence across feeding states. Missed strikes showed a decrease for the 4-fed state (non-statistical trend; ANOVA: p = 0.78). Trends show increased probability of both general monitoring (Av), general rotations (Avi), and general translation (Avii) as satiety increased (ANOVA: p = 0.0036, p <0.0001, and p = 0.0048). For (Ai)—(Avii), N = 58, 45, 35, 24, 26 which is equal to the number of subsequences exhibited in each feed state. (B) Bout time plots for hunting behaviors exhibited by feed state. (Bi) Specific monitoring bout times were consistent across feed states (ANOVA: p = 0.79). A downward trend was seen for both specific rotation (Bii) and specific translation (Biii) across the feed states (ANOVA: p<0.0001 and p = 0.0008, respectively). An upward trend in bout time was seen for general monitoring (Biv), general rotation (Bv), general translation (Bvi), and grooming (Bvii) as the feed state increased (ANOVA: p = 0.0002, p<0.0001, p = 0.0029, p = 0.0002, respectively). For part (B), N for each behavior is reported in Section D of Table 1. Tukey pairwise comparisons were performed when ANOVA analysis produced a pValue < 0.05; Tukey pValues: *p<0.05 and **p<0.01.
