Abstract

Lay Summary Early-life conditions have stronger effects on the fitness of male than female collared flycatchers. Male nestlings from experimentally enlarged broods had fewer eggs from their mates during their life than male nestlings from reduced broods, which was a consequence of their shorter breeding lifespan. In females, rearing conditions had no effect on fitness. Together with earlier results, we show that although sex differences in growth disappear by fledging, the greater sensitivity of males had lifelong consequences.
