Data for nestling mass model with weather and brooding

Data table for linear mixed model (LMM) examining whether nestling-stage temperature and rainfall and brooding patterns predicted nestling mass near fledging (Tables 1 & 2 of published article). Column headings: Year: year of nest construction; Plot: low, mid, or high elevation study plot; Female: unique female identifier; Nest: unique nest identifier; MeanNestlingMass: mean nestling mass in g for nest on day 6 of the nestling stage; DayAmbMaxTemp: mean of maximum daily temperatures in degrees C recorded over days 3-5 of the nestling stage; RainfallDuringNestlingStage: total rainfall in mm recorded over days 3-5 of the nestling stage; DayPercentTimeOff: proportion of time female was off the nest over days 3-5 of the nestling stage; BroodSize: mean number of nestlings in the nest over days 3-5 of the nestling stage; Fledge: whether nest fledged young (1) or not (0); Hatch: date nestlings hatched; JDHatch: Julian date that nestlings hatched.

Data were collected from a breeding population of the migratory Black-throated Blue Warbler at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest (HBEF), Woodstock, New Hampshire, USA (43.93N, 71.75W), from 2010-2013.
