Table 3.
Quantitative measurements of kinematic variables for individuals RM01, RM02, and RM03 as well as the average between all three individuals. Values written mean ± SE for successful, single-swallow, straight events for each individual (RM01 = 11; RM02 = 13; RM03 = 12). See Supp. Table 4 for definitions of variables.
