Year: 2026
Type: supplementary-materials
Abstract: These are the supplemental materials associated with the manuscript: "Timepoint versus timeline: assessing the limitations of discrete electrical penetration graph (EPG) recordings for elucidating diurnal variation in feeding behavior in the aphid Rhopalosiphum padi". `SupplementalFileS1.docx` is a word document containing all suplemental tables presented in the manuscript. Statistical models and pairwise contrasts for R. padi performance and feeding behavior:This file contains the complete set of statistical models evaluating the effects of light regimes and recording intervals on bird cherry-oat aphid (Rhopalosiphum padi) performance and electrical penetration graph (EPG) variables. Tables S1 and S2 present model coefficients for reproductive performance. Tables S3 through S28 detail Type III Analyses of Deviance and FDR-adjusted pairwise contrasts for feeding behavior waveforms across discrete 8-hour recording windows. Tables S29 through S42 outline the model coefficients for all EPG behavioral parameters and feeding durations compiled over continuous 24-hour recordings. `SupplementalDataS1.xlsx` is an excel spreadsheet containing all the tables of summary statistics across each analysis. Summary statistics for R. padi performance metrics and EPG behavioral variables:Microsoft Excel file containing summary statistics of feeding behavior and reproductive performance for R. padi across five sheets. The "Performance_SumStat" sheet provides summary statistics for performance metrics across light-dark (LD) and continuous light (LL) regimes. The "8hour_EPGVariables_SumStat" and "8hour_fullEPGVariables_SumStat" sheets contain summary statistics of feeding behavior variables across discrete 8-h recording intervals and light regimes. Finally, the "24hour_EPGVariables_SumStat" and "24hour_fullEPGVariables_SumStat" sheets present summary statistics of feeding behavior variables from the continuous 24-h EPG recordings. The raw data and code utilized in this analysis can be found at the associated zenodo repositories: doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20752519 and doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.22049942.
