  1. The explanatory variables were age and its quadratic term (Age, Age^2 respectively), breeding success (Breeding_success), sex of an individual, number of reproductive events of an individual on the particular nest (No_repr_events), productivity relative to the population mean (Relative_productivity), natural logarithm of length of hydrological network (Hydro_network), cover of human-altered habitat (Human_altered), cover of arable lands (Arable_land), cover of pastures and meadows (Pastures), cover of other agricultural lands (Other_agri_lands), average precipitation (PPT_av) and minimum temperature (TMIN_av) during the breeding season. For binary variables breeding success and sex the presented values are for consecutively presence of success and males, as lack of success and females are treated as a reference (the estimates are equal to 0). Significant results (p < 0.05) are in bold
