Table 2.

Random effects and fixed effects estimated from the linear mixed-effect model on breeding date of song sparrows on Mandarte Island, British Columbia. (Estimates were taken from the top mixed model in table 1 (top fixed+female in cohort×SOI). The standard deviation and 95% CI are provided for the random effects, along with residual variance. Estimates of the coefficients and the associated CIs are provided for the fixed effects. The correlation between the cohort slope and intercept terms was −0.33.)
