Table 1.
Results of general linear mixed model showing factors affecting nestling residual body mass and body mass in tree swallows (Tachycineta bicolor) following experimental heating of nest boxes during the incubation period. (Nestlings were cross-fostered on day 3 of the nestling period. Origin refers to treatment (heated versus control) nestlings experienced as eggs; final refers to treatment that feeding females experienced during the nestling period. Effect size is given as partial η2. Numbers in bold indicate p<0.05; numbers in italics indicate p<0.10.)
