Table 5 Results of linear mixed-effect models examining the relationship of residuals for mass (in g) wing and tarsus lengths (in mm) in relation to A). nest index, age and chick hatching order and B). monthly rainfall (mm), age and chick hatching order, in Red-capped Lark Calandrella cinerea nestlings in Kedong

From: Geographical and temporal variation in environmental conditions affects nestling growth but not immune function in a year-round breeding equatorial lark
