  1. Posterior mode gives the meta-analytic log odds ratio (lnOR) estimate from the MCMCglmm models, with lower and upper 95% higher posterior density credible intervals given. Estimates with the 95% HPD CI excluding zero are marked with *. Percentage odds refers to the % increase (+) or decrease (−) in the odds of reproductive success of captive-born or wild-born animals, relative to the other group
