Results of the Paired t-Tests comparing the difference between mean Q10s of each of the kinematic velocity variables and the expected value of 2.0.

Relevant statistics are shown for P = Pike killifish, Belonesox belizanus; L = Lionfish, Pterois volitans; M = Mayan cichlid, Cichlasoma urophthalmus. Note that except for the Q10 of the velocity of lower-jaw rotation in Mayan cichlid and lionfish, all Q10 values of kinematic velocities are statistically less than the expected value of 2.0.
