Fig. 2

The Nematostella neuronal subtypes scale with changes in size. a,b Visualization of NvLWamide-like neurons in relation to body size during periods of feeding and starvation. Panels in a and b are each of a single individual. Arrows indicate longitudinal neurons and arrowheads indicate tripolar neurons. Oral end is to the left. Scale bar = 1 mm. c Increases and decreases animal length due to feeding and starvation, respectively. d Longitudinal neurons increase and decrease during periods of feeling and starvation, respectively. e Tripolar neurons increase and decrease following periods of feeding and starvation, respectively. ce See Additional File 15: Table S5 for full model results (c F 2,34 = 25.75, p < 0.001, ηp2 = 0.60; d F2,36 = 77.35, p < 0.001, ηp2 = 0.81; e tripolar, F2,36 = 91.91, p < 0.001, ηp2 = 0.84). Data points are means ± SEM, n = 10 animals per treatment, *p ≤ 0.05. Scale bar = 1 mm
