Fig. 3

The probability of being brooded—in relation to species, ambient temperature, and the time of day. The points show the probability of Red-wattled lapwing chicks (yellow) and Northern lapwing chicks (blue) being brooded during nighttime (a) and during daytime; (b) in relation to the ambient temperature. c presents the diel pattern of brooding. The curves with a shaded area indicate a model prediction with a 95% credible interval [49]. Variance components were estimated by the ‘glmer’ function for binomial errors with the logit link function [46]
