Egg Outcomes and Genotyping Success.

Eggs listed under ‘Successful Genotyping’ were genotyped at a minimum of 5/6 loci. ‘No Attempt/Failed’ refers to eggs that we were not able to successfully genotype, either due to lack of sample or multiple failed genotyping attempts. In both cases, the number of eggs in each final status category is listed: Failed to Hatch, Nestling Death, Fledged, Buried, Outside Nest, Broken, Broken in Handling and No Sample in Phase One and Incubated – Failed to Develop and Incubated – Embryo and No Sample in Phase Two. For eggs that were successfully genotyped, the number of eggs for which parentage was assigned with 95% confidence and the number of eggs that could be compared to observed parentage are listed.
