The relationship between male incubation effort and the efficiency of female vocalization. The male incubation effort is taken as the ratio of male nest attendance at the nest to the overall time, for which the nest was attended by either of the parents. The efficiency of female vocalization is the proportion of female departures accompanied by her vocalization after which the male came to incubate (i.e. “Exchange gap” took place). Circles represent the individual nests and their size the number of days with incubation data. The line with shaded area indicates the model prediction with a 95% credible interval (Additional file 1: Table S5)
