Do Orientation-Based Differences in Nestbox Temperature Cause Differential Ectoparasite Load and Explain Patterns of Nest-Site Selection and Offspring Condition in Great Tits?

Table 1

Results of multiple linear regression analyses between insect ectoparasite abundance (quantified per nest or per chick) and great tit offspring condition quantified using two condition-related traits (d.f. = 19 in all cases).

Condition-related trait	Insect ectoparasites (per nest)		Insect ectoparasites (per chick)
	Adjusted 𝑅^2	P	Adjusted 𝑅^2	P
Relative mass	0.081	0.275	0.068	0.299
Wing length	0.000	0.694	0.001	0.678
