The probability distribution function of Tb (interburst interval) for experiments with 1 firefly (1ff) (A), 5ff (B), 10ff (C), 15ff (D), and 20ff (E), before and after making corrections to the dataset.

Please note that the distributions of 5, 10, and 15ff remain unchanged. The bin size is set to 3 seconds.

Comparison between theory and data for experiments, of the probability distribution function of the interburst interval (Tb), with 5ff (A), 10ff (B), 15ff (C), 20ff (D), and the resulting standard deviation of the interburst interval (Tb) (E), after removing the affected data points from the original dataset.

The removal has no effect on the main conclusions.
