Environmental instability as a motor for dispersal: a case study from a growing population of glossy ibis.

The linear trend effect was marginally significant ( F 1,9 = 4.37, P = 0.066) explaining 49% of apparent dispersal variation in wet years, whose model averaged estimates (Table S1 in File S4 ) linearly decreased from 0.16 (SE = 0.03) to 0.09 (SE = 0.03) ( Figure 2 ).

However, we are not confident that this is the case, because illegal shooting at glossy ibis in rice fields and nearby roosting sites may have increased in the area in recent years (personal observation), so we would expect to find an increasing trend in apparent dispersal.
