Figure 3

Movements of individual cane toads, ordered by ascending mean values: (a) the distance each toad moved between successive days (4 values/toad, except 1 for M4), (b) the distance toads travelled from their diurnal shelters at night (3–4 values/toad, except 2 for M4 and M10). The panel (a) inset boxplots indicate the total distance moved over the 5-day tracking period (mean: 37 m), as well as how straight this movement was (mean straightness 0.35; a path straightness value of 0 would indicate that the toad had returned to its original shelter at the end of the tracking period, whereas a value of 1 would indicate that its movements between diurnal shelters were linear, consistently taking it farther from its original shelter). Plots depict the medians and interquartile ranges, with whiskers designating the minimum and maximum non-outlier values. Asterisked toad IDs identify females.
