Figure 3

The association between an offspring's inbreeding coefficient and its probability of first year survival. The left-hand plot shows averages of raw data (so not correcting for terms in the minimal model) for offspring with inbreeding coefficients binned as detailed on the x-axis, with bars representing standard errors. The right hand plot shows model predictions from a model including birth weights (solid line) and actual data (open circles; please note that a given circle may represent multiple data points, e.g. for F = 0.25, there was 1 survivor and 6 non-survivors). Offspring were less likely to survive their first year with increasing inbreeding coefficient.
