Table 3. Results of a BMM modelling Lundy island house sparrow female provisioning frequencies (visits/hour) at a location intermittently affected by noise and at control nestboxes during the same time periods (two-level factor with noise off as the reference level). Statistically significant fixed effects are indicated in bold.

Intercept | 13.73 | 10.54–16.60 | 8.27 | 5.44–10.90 |

Bird ID | 1.54 | 0.00–7.74 | 0.26 | 0.00–4.39 |
Residual | 21.92 | 9.18–37.71 | 20.63 | 8.40–35.73 |
N noise = 22 observation periods on five females, Nquiet = 20 observation periods on nine females.
