Table 5.

Results of the post hoc pairwise comparisons applied to the GLMMs relating the effects of COVID-19 confinement measures (alongside covariates) on NDSI, biophony (here, probability of bird calls) and anthropophony (here, probability of engine noise) levels at 08:00 am.

Response variable Explanatory variable Estimate SE t ratio P value
NDSI Confinement level 1 vs no measures 0.035 0.012 2.832 0.013*
Confinement level 2 and 3 vs no measures 0.051 0.014 3.535 0.001**
Confinement level 2 and 3 vs Confinement level 1 0.016 0.011 1.464 0.309
Birds Confinement level 1 vs no measures 0.083 0.013 6.191 <0.001***
Confinement level 2 and 3 vs no measures 0.207 0.015 14.074 <0.001***
Confinement level 2 and 3 vs Confinement level 1 0.124 0.011 11.272 <0.001***
Engine noise Confinement level 1 vs no measures −0.327 0.011 −2.887 0.011*
Confinement level 2 and 3 vs no measures −0.216 0.014 −15.130 <0.001***
Confinement level 2 and 3 vs Confinement level 1 −0.183 0.01 −16.999 <0.001***

SE: standard error of the estimate. ***P < 0.001, **P <0.010, *P < 0.050. Confinement level 1 calls for “recommended not to leave home” and Confinement level 2 and 3 calls for “not allowed to leave home”.
