Post hoc tests showed that egg cluster sizes of 4 and 10 were joined significantly more often than were single eggs (LMs: 4: F 1, 71 = 13.0, p = 5.85 × 10 −4 ; 10: F 1, 78 = 8.76, p = 0.00407), though this trend was marginally non-significant for a cluster size of 7 (LM: F 1, 75 = 3.82, p = 0.0542).
