  1. Breeding pairs with known hatching dates (n = 203) were assigned a breeding timing class using a k means clustering algorithm, resulting in four clusters (Class 1: n = 53, Class 2: n = 27, Class 3: n = 58, Class 4: n = 65).
  2. Genetic differentiation is displayed using G″ST. The G″ST coefficient is shown followed by the P value and the number of days between average hatch times. Significant differences between classes are shown in bold text with an asterisk.
