Table 2. Factors affecting sibling cannibalism and brood reduction.

Sibling cannibalism Brood reduction
Results from generalized linear model (binomial distribution and logic link function) and general lineal model exploring effects of experimental food supply, hatching date (1: 1 April), and hatching span (independent factors) on prevalence and intensity of sibling cannibalism and brood reduction, respectively. Statistically significant (P<0.05) differences are shown in bold.
