Table 1.

Analysis of variance table for (A) female fecundity (F_♀), (B) male fecundity (F_♂) and (C) BAI in response to ecological determinants included in eqn (3). Results of the most parsimonious model are shown: its adjusted R², the type-III sum of squares (SSQ) and degrees of freedom associated with each term. For each predictor, we give the estimate of its effect, the standard error and associated t and P-values. VIFs were computed with R package ‘CAR’. All the response variables were log-transformed. Results are based on the whole data set of 432 individuals for F_♀ and F_♂, and on the 341 individuals with non-null BAI for BAI
