Table 3 A: GLMM exploring the effects of Internal Relatedness (IR), pairwise relatedness (r), and MHC allele-sharing (D) of the social male on the female likelihood to engage in extra-pair fertilizations, B: Relative variable importance given by Akaike weights (ΣAIC ω )
From: Females tend to prefer genetically similar mates in an island population of house sparrows
