Similarly, we found an almost significant positive relationship between the rTL of females and their extra-pair mates (ANCOVA, response variable: rTL of extra-pair male, independent variables: rTL of female: F 1, 37 = 4.0, p = 0.052; year: F 1, 37 = 9.0, p = 0.005; n = 40 female-extra-pair male dyads).
