Figure from the publication, showing multilayer aggregation results for flight and feeding networks.

Figure 3. Multilayer reducibility curves at different aggregation window sizes. Feeding (yellow) and flight (blue) social networks for the postbreeding season in 2023. Each panel shows a different timescale: (a) 1 day, (b) 5 days, (c) 10 days and (d) 25 days. The Y axis shows the Von Neumann relative entropy of the current reduced multilayer network compared to the fully aggregated network, normalized to the maximum value for each curve; the X axis shows how many layers have been aggregated. The dotted black line represents the hypothetical linear decrease in entropy that is expected if each layer contributed exactly the same amount of information.

Figure from the publication, showing a nonlinear positive relationship between vulture age and probability of roost fidelity.

Fig. 3. Age-related changes in movement and social behavior of griffon vultures. Each panel A–F represents the model predictions, backtransformed to the original data scale, and the 95% CI for the effect of age on movement (A–C) and social behaviors (D–F): (A) probability of remaining at the same roost-site on consecutive nights (roost fidelity)

Figure from the publication, showing a negative relationship between burst speed and developmental rate.

FIGURE 3 Relationship between development rate and burst speed for (a) lab tadpoles and (b) wild tadpoles. Dots represent pond‐wise means, and in (a), lines connect means from the same pond. Marginal density plots are based on individual tadpoles rather than pond‐wise means. Orange and blue represent tadpoles reared in the high‐ and low‐temperature incubators, respectively [Color figure can be viewed at wileyonlinelibrary.com]
