Fig. 5

Estimated relationship between taxon-specific hazard ratios (indicating the risk of death for individuals wearing GPS tags compared to those wearing only metal bands) and taxon-specific adult female body mass across 13 waterfowl taxa. For taxa with geographic variation in hazard rates, we used hazard rates from the Flyway with the most precise estimate of band-only hazard rates. Life expectancy, used as an indicator of life-history tempo, is indicated by a color gradient from fast (gold) to slow (green). The bold line indicates the model-predicted mean effect across taxa and the grey shaded region indicates a 90% highest posterior density credible interval
