Preen oil is an odor source
Oil secreted from the uropygial gland
contains volatile compounds that give
birds an odor
Volatile compound concentration increases
during breeding season

Conclusion
s
Odor is a strong
predictor of RS
in both males
and females
Females may
evaluate
potential social
mates and
EPF mates
using different
cues
No other traits
correlated

Hinweis der Redaktion

  1. Pop-up PCA graph to reinforce the differences
  2. Have T graph pop up
  3. Were there other correlates (morph characteristics) associated with RS or loss of paternity? (eg tail white, size)Be careful about saying ‘Strong correlation’ – p value not that strong – say highly correlatedJust do Fledging day graphs for males – my awesome circles are confusing. For female, do day 6 and say that it suggests she can produce more offspring (eg is more fecund), not necessarily anything about her parenting ability
