N= 40 snails tested
Aim: determine whether there was a directional bias in snails using the Y-maze before the proper experiment

Variables:
Side: two levels: "Left" or "Right"

N = 97 snails tested

Aim: determine whether dispersers and residents differed in trail following propensity

Variables:

Followed: Did the snail followed the trail? 0: no, 1: yes
