Selection on Fledging Mass in the Collared Flycatcher and the Great Tit
Abstract
The selection on residual mass (relative to body size) at fledging was investigated in the Collared Flycatcher Ficedula albicollis and the Great Tit Parus major. Directional selection for high fledging mass was evident in 6 of 7 yr in Collared Flycatchers but only in 1 of 5 yr in Great Tits. Three different methods of demonstrating and testing stabiilizing selection are compared. Stabilizing selection on relative mass occurred in both species, but the frequency with which this was established depended on which method was used. None of the methods seemed to be universally reliable, and the problem of defining and testing stabilizing selection is discussed. In Collared Flycatchers mass seemed to be most important for juvenile survival. Also in Great Tits mass was important, but in addition other traits (e.g., hatching date) strongly influenced juvenile survival in this species. This possible difference between the two species is suggested to relate to differences in their territory establishment.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
