Posterior estimates for individual predictability in distances of nightly max-displacement across the entire tracking duration. Higher values of rIIV (X-axis) indicate lower predictability in the behavior. Each line on the y-axis corresponds to a different individual, sorted by their mean rIIV. The most predictable individual has an average residual variance of 0.35 km around its behavioral mean, whereas the least predictable individual has an average residual variance of 5.16 km, resulting in a very flat distribution with a high mean value. Dark color indicates adults while light color indicates juvenile birds and the apparent trend that adults are much more predictable than juveniles is supported by subsequent models, see below
