Table 1.
Nestlings’ likelihood of performing body movements, according to their own vocal behavior, food treatment, and characteristics and the vocal behavior and food treatment of their nestmate (live partner or playback). Three settings are analyzed: (a) nestling pairs in their natural nest, (b) nestling pairs in the laboratory, and (c) singleton nestlings responding to a playback. Result of generalized linear models. Superscript numbers indicate quadratic terms (see main text).
| a. Nestling Pairs in the Field (Experiment 1) d.f. = 417 | b. Nestling Pairs in the Lab (Experiment 2) d.f. = 12,251 | c. Playback (Experiment 3) d.f. = 4372 | |||||||
