Linear mixed models of nestling morphology in relation to relative telomere length.

For wing and tail length, the parameters are explicitly given to allow calculation of fitted phenotypic values. Non-significant interaction terms were removed from the final models (see Statistical analyses). Coefficients for non-significant terms are not reported. Bolded P-values are discussed in the text.*: these parameters are set to 0 as they are redundant.a: t25.3 = 5.11, P b: t16.5 = 2.02, P = 0.060c: t51.4 = 4.30, P d: t40.7 = 2.03, P = 0.049e: t51.6 = 4.39, P f: t17.2 = 2.59, P = 0.019g: t51.6 = 2.86, P = 0.007h: t41.2 = -0.53, P = 0.597Linear mixed models of nestling morphology in relation to relative telomere length.
