The mating status of the mother had a marginally significant effect on recruitment probability (type III ANOVA, χ 2 = 4.68, d.f. = 2, p = 0.10), with offspring of secondary polygynous females somewhat less likely to recruit (probability ± s.e.: 0.07 ± 0.01, n = 726 birds) than offspring of primary polygynous females (0.10 ± 0.01; pairwise comparison, p = 0.08, n = 824 birds).
