Phylogenetic generalized linear models (PGLMs) were fitted separately for female (a) and male breeders (b). The models incorporated social system (1 = cooperative breeding; 0 = non-cooperative breeding) as a binary response variable, with body size and habitat as explanatory variables. The vertical axis represents each explanatory variable, while the horizontal axis depicts the z-values of their coefficients. Bars extending to the left and right indicate 95% confidence intervals ( ± 1.96).
