Fig 6 Box plots to show various parameters of the rectal waves generated in AB larvae at 7 dpf that were fed a standard diet (SD).

The following parameters were determined by kymography analysis: (A) number, (B) distance (μm) and (C) duration (s) of contractions, (D) interval between contractions (s), and (E) contraction velocity (μm/s). These parameters were determined in both the anterograde and retrograde direction. Medians are shown by horizontal lines inside the boxes, the 25^th and 75^th percentiles are shown as the bottom and tops of the boxes, and the minimum and maximum values are shown as the small horizontal lines below and above the boxes, and mean values are indicated as “+” sign. Significant differences between the anterograde and retrograde actions were determined by the unpaired nonparametric Mann Whitney U test and are presented as *P<0.05 and ****P<0.0001. N = 20.
