Figure 1: Relative diet preference of Village weavers Ploceus cucullatus over 8 weeks of diet treatments; (A) Number of Village weavers foraging on diet types (B) Number of males foraging relative to females on diet types (C) Variation in giving-up density (GUD) (g) between food types. Alphabets above bars indicate a statistically significant difference between groups after post hoc comparisons at p < .05. Boxes show group medians. GUD of fruits and grains is significantly (p < .05) lower compared to insects across weeks while the GUD of fruits is significantly (p < .05) lower compared to grains in weeks 1 and 4 (Table S2).
Table 1: Differences in the number of Village weavers Ploceus cucullatus foraging on diet types per minute of observation, and Giving-up density (GUD) (g) of diet types over 8 weeks of foraging.
