Standardized variances in RS of males and females within a hatching cohort. The trend (n.s.) towards higher values for young males and older females may be explained by younger males having fewer breeding attempts than females (T. J. Maness 2007, unpublished data), amplifying the contrast in RS between successful and unsuccessful males, and by the rotation of mating partners by females homogenizing variance in RS among older males.
