Results of a multistate model examining conditions during the rearing period on (a) survival (Φ) and (b) recruitment (transition from subordinate to primary state, ΨSP) of Seychelles warblers.

The different states (life stages) are: fledgling (F), old fledgling (O), subordinate (S) and primary (P). Covariates of the rearing territory: (h) = number of helpers, (nh) = number of non-helpers, (tq) = territory quality, (b) = brood size, (gs) = group size, (t) = time. Models were ranked according to their QAICc value, with the best supported model on top. ΔQAICc being the difference between the QAICc of the best supported model and the model considered.
