Conclusions and outlook Our data provided evidence of altered spatiotemporal parameters in nestboxes compared with natural cavities in blue tits, although quantitative differences in neighbor density and synchronous neighbor density were small (Table 1). This complements previous knowledge of the differences introduced by nestboxes. However, our results offered no evidence for an effect of nestboxes per se on levels of extra-pair paternity in the population.
