Fig. 2. Rates of energy expenditure (W) measured with the doubly labelled water
method as a function of whether the birds were foraging (horizontal axis),
subdivided into trials when they were not crushing or processing digesta (dark
grey boxes), processing but not crushing (open boxes), or processing and
crushing (light grey boxes). Large filled circles are least-square means and
small filled circles are outliers (see Fig.
1 for a further description of box-and-whisker plots).
