Tukey Contrasts | Estimate | s.e. | P-value |
Heavy - Undisturbed | 2.00 | 0.71 | 0.013 |
Moderate - Undisturbed | 0.77 | 0.52 | 0.300 |
Moderate - Heavy | −1.22 | 0.70 | 0.183 |
Both the full model containing, treatment, complete (whether the brood size equalled the clutch size), and year, and a minimal model containing just treatment are presented. Pairwise significances were determined using Tukey's post-hoc analysis, estimate, standard error and p-values are presented.
