Effect of maternal predator exposure on paternal care towards pre-hatch embryos (days 3–4 post-fertilization) and post-hatch fry (days 7–8 post-fertilization). n = 16 fathers.

effect	d.f.	F-value	p-value
(a) number of nest pokes and fanning bouts

treatment × day	3, 39.5	0.15	0.9300
random effect of father identity	χ2 difference = 1.5		0.2207
(b) number of nest visits and offspring retrievals
maternal predator exposure	1, 19.9	5.31	0.0321
day (3,4,7,8)	3, 40.3	4.64	0.0071
treatment × day	3, 40.3	0.87	0.4646
