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. | |||||||||||||||
