Models relating ARS to age, inbreeding coefficients (f) and kinship coefficient (k) in female and male song sparrows. (F and R indicate the full dataset and restricted dataset of individuals that lived 4–6 years, respectively. Nind and Nobs are the sample sizes of individuals and observations, respectively. Individual f and mate f are the inbreeding coefficients of focal individuals and their mates, respectively. Sample sizes were reduced in analyses including f because individuals with unknown parents or grandparents were excluded. ‘Individual’ and ‘year’ represent the estimates of the variance components associated with the two random effects.)
