Appendix 3 
Summary of Kruskal-Wallis nonparametric ANOVA tests with the data streams available in pop-up satellite archival tags 
(PSATs) for depth (day depth=DD, night depth=ND, combined depth=AD) and temperature data (day temperature=DT, night 
temperature = NT, combined temperature = AT) for each of the pelagic shark species. The Kruskal-Wallis test statistic (He) was 
adjusted for ties (Zar, 1996). Results for post-hoc pairwise Mann-Whitney (Bonferroni corrected P-values) (MWBC) tests are 
summarized for each of the pelagic shark species. Sample sizes and possible number of pairwise tests used in the comparisons 
are given for each species. Two sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests paralleled the results from pairwise MWBC tests (results not 
shown).
