Figure 1

A comparison of the data in figure 3B (upper line) and the original (incorrect) supplementary fig. S3B (lower line) in the Fuller et al. [2] paper, on the day in which fig. S3B contained a "gap". The images have been cut directly from the online figures, resized to cover the same time period, and aligned by eye. The red vertical lines marking the feeding time (the offset in the incorrect figure S3B due to not being corrected for the correct time of day) are clear. A piece of a red arrow that marks the food deprivation day is also seen toward the left in the upper register. The "gap" period is the blank area to the left of the red line in the lower register. Note that the lower register (the day in which mean body temperature was 0.06°C lower because of the missing data in the gap period) shows more time periods when the body temperature exceeded the mean (marked by gray or black boxes, depending upon how high the temperature was). Although the differences are subtle, the two plots do not "appear to be identical" as claimed by Mistlberger [1].
