  1. GLMMs were fitted using binomial error structure and individual as random factors. GPS data were filtered to include only foraging locations
  2. P-values: ***p < 0.001, **p < 0.01, *p < 0.05, (*) p < 0.1
  3. 1Due to the small sample size and low explained deviance, the GLMM for non-displaying males and not breeding females is not included in Additional file 1. 2 Mostly sweet potato crops with annual rotation of a cultivated sector and an uncultivated sector of the same field
