Physical Non-Contact Communication between Microscopic Aquatic Species: Novel Experimental Evidences for an Interspecies Information Exchange

Table 3

This table refers to Experiment  1b and lists mean values and standard errors () of the absolute population size of Paramecium caudatum at the end of the exposure to Euglena viridis or its absence (yes/no). The separation between the species was conducted with cuvettes made of quartz and had two types of controls (normal and shielded; see text).

Exposure to Euglena	Shielding	Mean ± standard error
Yes	No	187.0 ± 6.2
Yes	Yes	208.5 ± 10.4
No	No	201.7 ± 7.9
