Researchers in the Netherlands studied the effects of parental care giving in European kestrels over 5 years. The researchers transferred chicks among nests to produce reduced broods (three or four chicks), normal broods (five or six), and enlarged broods (seven or eight). They then measured the percentage of male and female parent birds that survived the following winter. (Both males and females provide care for chicks.) Which of the following is a conclusion that can be drawn from this graph?
