Abstract
Usage notes
The excel file contains three sheets:
- "Genotypes": 1443 individuals were genotyped at up to 12 microsatelites.
- "Nestlings": 237 nestlings from 137 broods.
NEST: ID of the nest
POP_CLUSTER: forest fragments were divided in three population clusters, i.e. "Chawia", "Ngangao" and "Small_fragments".
YEAR: year 0708 correpsonds to breeding season 2007-2008
NESTLING: nestling ring number
TARS: tarsus lenght of the neslting
SMI: Scale Mass Index of the nestling
HETERO: heterozygosity of the nestling
WPY: within-pair young (yes: 1, no: 0)
NWPY: number of within-pair young in the brood
NEPY: number of extra-pair young in the brood
EPB: at least one extra-pair offspring in the brood (yes: 1, no: 2)
NSUB: number of subordinates in the group
NHELP: number of helpers in the group (subordinates providing food to nesltings)
DOMINAN_ FEMALE: dominant female ring number
TARS_DF: tarsus lenght of the dominant female
HET_DF: heterozygosity of the dominant female
DOMINANT_MALE: dominant male ring number
TARS_DM: tarsus lenght of the dominant male
HET_DM: heterozygosity of the dominant male
RELAT_DM: relatedness between the dominant male and female
FATHER_MALE: ring number of the genetic father (as assigned by the program COLONY)
TARS_FATHER: tarsus lenght of the genetic father
HET_FATHER: heterozygosity of the genetic father
RELAT_FATHER: relatedness between the genetic father and the dominant female

FEED_FREQ_DM: number of feeds per hour per nestling by the dominant male
AVG_FOODSIZE_DM: average prey size brought by the dominant male
FEED_FREQ_DF: number of feeds per hour per nestling by the dominant female
AVG_FOODSIZE_DF: average prey size brought by the dominant female
