Sex, age, molt strategy, and migration distance explain the phenology of songbirds at a stopover along the East Asian flyway - Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology

Arrival date at the stopover site (with 95% credible intervals) of a male songbirds relative to arrival date of the females and b older birds (> 1 cy) relative to the arrival data of young birds (1 cy) in autumn. Significant effects (95% credible intervals not including zero) are presented in bold. Sample sizes (n) are given to the right. In b letters in brackets indicate molt strategy (S: complete molt in summer; W: complete winter molt; P: partial summer and a complete winter molt; M: molt migration). Species with a significant sex-age-interaction are not depicted (see Online Resource 1H). cy = calendar-year
