Statistical parameter evaluation. a) Speed was calculated as the average of all step lengths; b) linearity as the ratio of net displacement, i.e. the distance between start and end point of a path, to path length; c) coherency of a population is defined as the ratio between length of the resulting vector, obtained by composing the displacement vectors for each cell path, and sum of the single net displacement vector lengths; d) linear dispersion coefficient R is defined as the module of a vector having its origin in the center of a circle with unit radius and direction the average angle ϕ.
