Table 2.
The effects of egg-producer and father age on egg size
| Egg trait | Covariate | Effect size (10‐3mm/day) |
Standard errors | z-score | P |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Length | Egg-producer age | 0.781 | 0.515 | 1.515 | 0.130 |
| Father age | 0.179 | 0.445 | 0.402 | 0.688 | |
| Egg-producer age × father age | ‐1.551 | 0.690 | ‐2.246 | 0.025 | |
| Width | Egg-producer age | ‐0.053 | 0.446 | ‐0.118 | 0.906 |
| Father age | ‐0.044 | 0.392 | ‐0.113 | 0.910 | |
| Egg-producer age × father age | ‐0.580 | 0.596 | ‐0.974 | 0.330 |
The units of egg length and width are in mm. Effects that were significant to a threshold of α = 0.05 are in boldface. Full model results are given in Supplementary Table S4.
