Table 1. Model (binomial GLMM) on nest predation risk of wheatear nests (n = 923) in relation to different habitat structures.
Fixed effects | estimate | se | z-value | p-value |
Intercept | 0.907 | 0.342 | 2.9 | 0.003 |
Woodland distance | −0.018 | 0.009 | 1.9 | 0.044 |
Crop distance | −0.025 | 0.009 | 2.8 | 0.005 |

Road distance | 0.001 | 0.003 | −0.4 | 0.675 |
FLH | −0.575 | 0.381 | 1.5 | 0.131 |
FLH * woodland distance | 0.011 | 0.006 | −1.9 | 0.051 |
FLH * crop distance | 0.014 | 0.006 | −2.4 | 0.014 |
Habitat structures = distance from the nest woodland or crop edge, and field layer height (FLH) around the nest site (tall or short; reference category = short). Year and territory identity were included as crossed random effects (variance of year = 0.17, territory = 0.16). Dropped non-significant interaction terms: FLH*house distance p = 0.36; FLH*road distance p = 0.93.
