Recruitment in relation to paternal colorationFather ID: identity of the father; Mother ID: identity of the mother; Year when experiment carried out; Treatment = brood size treatment; Father and mother color: from 5 (light melanic) to 1 (dark melanic); Mass Fledgling: mean body mass of fledglings; Nb recruits: number of fledglings that were recruited in the local breeding populationTawny owl color - Recruitment.xlsAnalysis of dispersal distance in relation to colorationRecruit ring= Identity of the individual that dispersed; dispersal distance: distance (m) between the nest where the recruit was reared and the nest where it bred for the first time; Year = year when born; Brood ID: identity of the nest where the recruit was raised; Sex=Sex of the recruit; Treatment: brood size manipulation; Father and mother color: 1 for dark melanin to 5 for light melanicTawny owl Dispersal distance recruits.xlsxTawny owl color-specific reproductive success Year1Male ring: identity of the breeding male; Year: year when experiment carried out; Nb Fledglings: number of fledglings; Father and mother color: from 1 (dark melanic) to 5 (light melanic); Hatch date: hatching date in number of days to 1st January; BroodSizebefore: number of nestlings before treatment was applied; Treatment: brood size manipulation experimentTawny owl color-specific survivalRing: identity of the breeding individual; Year: year when captured; Brood ID: identity of the nest where the individual bred; Treatment: Enlarged is for when we added nestlings to the brood, Reduced when we removed nestlings, N when no treatment was applied and absence of code is for non-breeding individuals; Coloration: between 1 (dark melanic) to 5 (light melanic); sex: sex of the individualReproductive success after having applied brood size manipulation experiment in two successive yearsMale Ring: Identity of the breeding male; Year X2: second year of brood size manipulation experiment; N_Fledglings X2: number of fledglings in the second year; Hatch date X2: hatching date in the second year (number of days after 1st January); Treatment X1: brood size manipulation in the first year; Treatment X2: brood size manipulation in the second year; Class Treatment: 1 (reduced-reduced), 2 (enlarged-reduced), 3 (reduced-enlarge), 4 (enlarged-enlarged); Father color: color of the father (1 for dark melanic to 5 for light melanic)Tawny owl color-specific reproductive success 2successiveYear.xlsxTawny owl Color-specific offspring body massFledging Body Mass: mass at fledging (g); Year: Year when the experiment was performed; BroodID: identity of the nest where fledglings were raised; Hour: time of the day when weighed; Wing: wing length (mm); Sex: sex of the fledgling; Cross fostered: No is for when fledglings were raised by their biological parents and Yes is for when fledglings were raised by foster parents; Father and mother color: 1 for dark melanic to 5 for light melanic; Treatment: brood size manipulation experiment
