Table 2. Results of a binomial GLMM (link = probit) testing whether herring gull chicks prefer marine or terrestrial foods.
| Estimate | Standard error | Degrees of freedom | Z value | P-value | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Intercept | −1.15 | 0.37 | 1 | ||
| Diet treatment group | −0.05 | 0.33 | 1 | −0.15 | 0.88 |
| Test day 10 (proxy for chick age and compared to day 5 in intercept) | −0.002 | 0.011 | 1 | 0.70 | 0.49 |
| Test day 15 (proxy for chick age and compared to day 5 in intercept) | 0.02 | 0.46 | 1 | 0.05 | 0.96 |
| Test day 35 (proxy for chick age and compared to day 5 in intercept) | 0.15 | 0.53 | 1 | 0.28 | 0.78 |
Note:
Random term: Chick ID variance within the model accounted for = 0, standard deviation = 0. This term had to be included to account for repeated measures of individuals over time.
