Caption

Turbulence predicted from the top two models based on pigeon movement metrics, the interquartile range of pressure fluctuations (a) and the sum of all absolute values of pressure as a measure of the area under the curve (b), and from the top two models based on ultralight movement metrics, the variance (c) and interquartile range (d) of the mean difference in pressure per second, per flight. The top two models based on pigeon flight had an adjusted R2 of approximately 0.4 and the two ultralight based models an R2 of 0.33 and 0.31, respectively. Black solid curves indicate the predicted fit (and dashed lines the 95% confidence intervals) and grey points the raw observations.
