Table 2. Results of secondary analysis for fold-change uric acid.

Metric Group BoutNum Group * BoutNum Captivity-only Low stress Medium stress High stress
Uric acid Fold-change F3,324 = 4.32 F5,319 = 3.82 F15,322 = 1.59 F5,40 = 3.48 F5,95 = 1.44 F5,85 = 2.66 F5,99 = 1.36
p = 2.25 × 10 −3 p = 5.26 × 10 −3 p = 0.07 p = 0.01 p = 0.22 p = 0.03 p = 0.24

Note:

Because there was no effect of pre/post-bout on fold-change uric acid in the main model (shown in Table 1), pre/post-bout was removed from the model. The results of a new model, “fold-change uric acid~group * bout num” with bird identity as a random effect, are shown in columns 3–5. Because there was a significant effect of group (and a significant interaction with group), the four treatment groups were split and four independent models were run. These four models were “fold-change uric acid~bout num” with bird identity as a random effect, and the results are down in columns 6–9. Cells that are bolded contain ­p-values less than 0.05.
