Levels of significance for the GLM-model fits were tested using analysis of deviance with chi-square distribution. Post hoc test results for contrasts between sympatric and allopatric combinations are shown below. Positive Z values indicate combinations where local antagonists show higher mortality than foreign antagonists.
