Table 2.

Depth and temperature parameters for nine tiger sharks tagged in the US Virgin Islands (USVI) and Bermuda (BMD), categorized by behavioral type (see Results section for description of behavioral types). Values are median (1st quartile–3rd quartile)/maximum depth or minimum temperature. An * after daytime medians indicates a significant difference between daytime and nighttime distributions subsampled to account for autocorrelation (two-sample Kolmogorov–Smirnov test, P < 0.05)
