Summary of the nature and direction (+ positive,−negative) of direct and carry-over effects and body size on the survival of red-winged fairy-wrens and white-browed scrubwrens in summer (for birds captured during the spring and summer months, October–March) and winter (for birds captured during the autumn and winter months, April–September), and between October and March between 1977 and 2014. n.a. represents variables that were not included in the final top model;+represents significant positive effect.
