Fig. 4: Effects of physiological traits on the movement of different taxonomic groups.

From: Physiology can predict animal activity, exploration, and dispersal

Fig. 4

In this analysis, physiological traits were lumped together to determine their overall effect on a activity, b exploration and c dispersal of different taxa. Only taxa with more than five effect sizes were analysed. Effects of physiological traits were generally weak (large overlap of credible intervals with zero), and the strongest effects were on the activity of fish (Osteichthyes) and invertebrates. Numbers in brackets indicate the number of effect sizes for each taxonomic group (NA = not available). Grey points represent individual effect size and the size of each symbol corresponds to study precision (inverse of standard error). Effect sizes (Zr) are estimates ±95% credible intervals.
