The entries are representative median values, with errors given by the lower and upper quartiles. The exception is the diffusivity, which is presented as a mean and 95% confidence interval. The step lengths and migration speed were calculated by averaging over all cells at all times (15 min intervals). The diffusivity was obtained using the fits to L2¯ shown in Fig. 3 and the correlation time from τ = 2D/v 2 for instantaneous speeds.
