statistics used not obvious

Dear authors,

It is nice to see some people trying to get some interesting data out of the Home cage Scan technique, nice work.

I was checking the hourly bins analysis but could not find a description of what the star means. The description in the material and method is much too vague to be replicated (using non-parametric analysis tests suchs as Mann-Whitney Test). It would be awsome if you could be more specific, what does this "such as" means, how did you manage the repetition of the test? And what does one, two, three stars mean?

In the future, it would be nice to include this kind of information in the figure legend, such that one does not have to read the whole material and method to get the information.
