Figure 3
Line graphs showing the predicted density (individuals/paddy) of shorebirds based on relative time since habitat formation. The predicted density was estimated using a generalised linear mixed model with predicted density (individuals/paddy), as the response variable (sample size: black-tailed godwit = 809; common greenshank = 250; wood sandpiper = 465), field type (plowed, harrowed, or seeded) and time since habitat formation as explanatory variables, and survey time and individual paddy as stochastic variables. Lines show the mean predicted density, and the grey-shaded area shows the 95% confidence interval. Each unit on the x-axis represents relative time since habitat formation in 2–3-day intervals: (a) Black-tailed Godwit; (b) Common Greenshank; (c) Wood Sandpiper.
