Appendix A. A figure showing the experimental setup.

FIG. A1. Experimental setup. (a) risky-choice experiments. The area containing the low-concentration food patch is shaded with black construction paper, while the side containing the high-concentration food patch is exposed to light. (b) Non-risky-choice experiment. Both food patches are shaded from light. In both experiments, the plasmodium is placed in the space between the two food patches.
