Estimates and 95% CI

F statistics


Intrasexual littermate overlap: males
    FFMM 0.63 (0.25, 0.90) F2,39 = 0.08, P = 0.92
    FF||MM 0.56 (0.21, 0.86)
    MM||MM 0.55 (0.25, 0.83)
Intrasexual littermate overlap: females
    FFMM 0.75 (0.18, 0.97) F2,36 = 0.05, P = 0.95
    FF||MM 0.79 (0.24, 0.98)
    FF||FF 0.83 (0.33, 0.98)
Intersexual overlap
    FFMM 0.85 (0.72, 0.94) F1,108 = 3.23, P = 0.07
    FF||MM

0.70 (0.57, 0.81)



Treatments are 2-sexes and all-kin group (FFMM), 2-sexes and mixed-kin group (FF||MM), and the 1-sex groups (FF||FF and MM||MM). See text for details on the statistics. The body mass of a male paired with 2 females was larger than the body mass of a single male by an average of 3.64 g (±0.83 SE) (paired t test, t = 4.41, P = 0.004, n = 7).
