Table 2 : For 53 bird species, analyses of associations of telomere traits (adult mean telomere length (A , Adult TL ), telomere rate of changes (B , TROC ) and chick mean telomere length (C , Chick TL ) and life-history traits (body size, PC1; the slow-fast continuum of pace of life, PC2; and parental care, PC3). Pearson’s correlation coefficients and both univariate and multivariate MCMC models that measure effects of phylogeny and statistically “adjust” for shared ancestry are shown. Proportion of variance among species attributed to phylogeny (phylogenetic r), and unexplained associations (residual r, associations statistically “controlled” for phylogeny) are presented, with significant results in bold. Beta coefficients show changes in TL measures in kb for each standardized unit change in the principle component axis values.
