Supplemental Figure 3: Coefficients of variation (〖CV〗*) of stride cycle durations (mean ± std dev) plotted against locomotor speed (m s-1) for the common ostrich (Struthio camelus) in the wild based off of data provided by Daley et al. (56). Data consist of 25,786 cycles collected from seven individuals. The gray box represents the first and third interquartile range speeds where gait transitions occur. The dashed line indicates the median preferred transition speed. Calculations of 〖CV〗* for each speed interval were based on 2-546 cycles for each individual
