Modeling Gull Behavior

Caption

Some animal behaviors are highly determined by abiotic environmental variables; others are influenced relatively little. Model predictions are in color; observations are black circles. The R2 value can be interpreted as the proportion of variability in the data that is explained by abiotic environmental variables. (From "The Mathematics of Animal Behavior: An Interdisciplinary Dialogue", by Shandelle M. Henson and James L. Hayward, Notices of the American Mathematical Society, November 2010.)
