An ANOVA (when normally distributed) or a non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis test was applied (indicated by Normality column: yes or no) for selecting the most significant parameters (behavioural, movement and energetic) characterising clusters. Significance was set at P < 0.1 (*) and marginal significance to P < 0.2 (**), whereas higher values were not significant (NS). FII: foraging-in-flight. SAW: sit-and-wait. RES: resting.
