Estimated maternal variance of juvenile winter body mass in relation to early-life environmental conditions at Chizé. Early-life environmental quality was defined as the cohort-specific juvenile summer survival rate, i.e. the proportion of juveniles born that survived to 8 months of age. Dashed lines indicate standard error interval for the estimated maternal variance (VM). The random regression model suggests a general increase in VM as early-life environment quality increases. The univariate analysis presented in Table 1 suggests that maternal variance is nearly all environmental in origin in this population
