Fig. 3: Host clutches were larger in treatments with naive cuckoo catfish.
From: Individual experience as a key to success for the cuckoo catfish brood parasitism
On average, host clutches in the experienced and highly experienced treatments were 17% smaller than the host clutches in the naïve treatment (GLMM with Gaussian error distribution; n = 509 clutches; naïve vs. experienced treatment: z = −2.928, P = 0.00341; naïve vs. highly experienced treatment: z = −3.130, P = 0.00175). The black dots represent mean values from model estimates and associated mean standard errors (whiskers) predicted across the experimental period. Coloured dots represent the observed data points (i.e., individual host clutch sizes) for naïve (blue, n = 191 spawnings in 6 replicate tanks), experienced (orange, n = 174 spawnings in 6 replicate tanks), and highly experienced (grey, n = 146 spawnings in 6 replicate tanks) cuckoo catfish treatments. Asterisks denote statistically significant differences (** for P < 0.01). Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
