TABLE 3.
Statistical summary of the linear mixed model testing whether the relationship between Relative telomere length and each of the final habitat variables significantly differed from 0; tested separately for each Treatment. Centered_Density refers to within‐stream local salmon density, while Mean_Granulometric Index refers to differences among streams in substrate topography. N = 413
