Fledging Age.

<p>Fledging age (model estimations of mean ± SE) for offspring of mothers exposed to either control birds (C) or to predatory birds (P) before and during egg-laying, raised either under matching or mismatching conditions. Asterisk represents significant difference (<i>p</i><0.05).</p

ANOVA table and estimated coefficients – linear mixed model for nestling mass.

<p>A repeated measurements model with nestling identification nested within Nest of Origin as random factors. Age was taken as an ordered categorical factor. Linear and Quadratic coefficient estimates of age are provided for each treatment group. Hatching date and brood size are centred for ease of interpretation. <i>F</i> and <i>p</i> values originate from the ANOVA table.</p><p>SE  =  standard error.</p>a<p>For a male compared to a female.</p

Summaries for hatching and fledging probability GLMs.

<p>Coefficients are untransformed and stem from a GLM with binomial (hatching probability) and Poisson (number fledged) errors. Laying and hatching are centered for ease of interpretation. Reference level for all models is a nest from the prenatal control-match treatments. Values for non-significant interactions are just before removal from the model. N2 =  number of nestlings on day 2 after first hatch. SE  =  Standard error.</p

ANOVA table for fledging age.

<p>Reference level for treatment coefficients is prenatal maternal control treatment and matching environment. Brood size and hatching date centred.</p

ANOVA table and estimated coefficients – linear mixed model for nestling morphological traits.

<p>Wing and tarsus models are repeated measures models with Nest of Origin and nestling ID as random factors. Hatching date and brood size are centred for ease of interpretation. <i>F</i> and <i>p</i> values stem from ANOVA table, and for non-significant interactions represent values just before removal (significance level for removal of interaction <i>p</i>>0.1). Reference  = 8 days old female nestling from a prenatal maternal control and matching environment group. SE  =  standard error.</p

Mass growth curves.

<p>Nestling mass on three measurement days (Mixed Effects Model estimations of mean ± SE). The shape of growth curves differed significantly according to the interaction between the treatments. When mothers were exposed to predation risk before or during ovulation, growth depended on offspring environment. When growing with predation risk, i.e. a matching environment, early growth rate increased (steeper slope between days 2–8) compared to mismatching conditions. Under mismatching conditions, the fast mass gain, as well as reaching asymptotic mass, was postponed. C = mothers exposed to control treatment; P = mothers exposed to predator treatment.</p

Multivariable analysis of selected predictors.

<p>Odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) of a multivariable analysis for variables selected from previous univariable analyses. Variables with p<0.2 in the univariable analysis were selected. For hospital sizes, odds ratios to the reference level Small are given. In the plot, square size is proportional to the inverse variance.</p
