Table 2. DVM patterns for elasmobranch species.
Only species with time-series data available were used, with data split into local day (10:00 to 14:00) and night (22:00 to 02:00) periods. Percentage values represent the proportion of individuals of a species displaying nDVM, rDVM, or neutral patterns (no difference between day and night). Day and night counts display the number of days of data available for each respective diel period.
