ESM B: SUPPLEMENTARY TABLES S1-S7 General information for supplementary tables S1-S7 Tables S1-S7 give details of analyses of deviance for generalised linear mixed models to make stepwise backward model selection procedures traceable. P values always refer to the increase in deviance when respective terms are removed from the more complex models as assessed by likelihood ratio tests. Significant fixed effects terms remaining in the resulting minimal adequate models are denoted in bold. See methods for further details. AIC: Akaike Information Criterion. 1 Table S1. Analysis of deviance tables for stepwise backward regressions of recruit lifespan on paternity status (paternity), sex, cohort, brood period within which the recruits hatched (hatch period) and their two-way interactions with paternity. ((a) n = 168 recruits originating from 116 broods with mixed paternity and (b) n = 242 recruits from all 168 genotyped broods. Generalised linear mixed models with Poisson error structure and log-link function were fitted (for −1transformed values to meet Poisson assumptions) and included brood of origin as a random effect to account for the non-independency of data measured for recruits originating from the same brood.)
