Fig. 1

Comparison of the prevalence of ovarian hypofunction between females of both study species (Spanish sparrows, P. hispaniolensis, and house sparrows, P. domesticus) and their hybrids. a Ovary width and length for both hybrid and pure-species females. Black ellipse encircles individual datapoints which are significant outliers in terms of width and length. b Boxplots showing median, quartiles and 5- and 95-percentiles for ovary volume across hybrid and pure-species individuals. Single data-points indicate extreme observations. c Photograph of a typical (normal) ovary and an atrophied ovary. d Proportion of females exhibiting ovarian atrophy in each category (n is the sample size for each type of female)
