Table 1: Principal component (PC) analysis of life history traits of 53
bird species. Eigenvalues and the percentage of variance explained by
each component are given for the three first PC axes, representing those
with an eigenvalue larger than 1 (total variance explained is 79.09%).
For each variable, correlation coefficients with the principle component
axis are given, with the significant values in bold (contributions
> average aleatory contribution, 100/n, n=number of
variables). Post-hatching growth rate had a large effect size on
PC1, but did not load significantly on any of the three PC axis
(indicated in italics).
