In the top half, data are a subset from the cohort of Alligator Gar (n = 23) tagged in May and June of 2020 from the BR study [33]. These observations were further filtered such that they only exhibit relocation intervals between 1 and 60 days (i.e., M time interval). The kurtosis (K) value for each event retained for analysis is reported, along with the test statistic (Z), p-value (p), and sample size (N) for each test. The bottom half denotes Anscombe-Glynn tests on the group of Alligator Gar (n = 27) tagged in February of 2009 from the TR study [25] using the same data subsetting strategy. Pooled data represents tests of kurtosis on all the combined tracking events for each study
