Black-tailed godwit calling at its nest. Photo: Ondřej Belfín Fig. 5 from the article: (a) The seasonal activity of five main nest call types during the incubation period. (b) The daily activity of five main nest call types during the incubation period. The average number of acoustic events for a given hour is presented separately for each nest. (c) Summary of different metrics representing the vocal activity of five call types compared between periods. The first column in (c) represents ‘corrected acoustic events' (the number of acoustic events multiplied by the coefficient 2.8 for twilight and 3.9 for night), and the second column represents recorded acoustic events.
