Table 2 Overview of the number of tits and flycatchers per area at the start and end of the experiment in two nest box populations shows differences in relative abundance of tits and flycatchers at the start and end of the experiment. Ruinen had more heterospecific (tits) than conspecific (flycatchers) tutors, whereas the opposite was true for Diever

From: Nest site preference depends on the relative density of conspecifics and heterospecifics in wild birds
