Table 2. Results of the linear mixed-effects model fit by REML for predicting δ2Hf from ‘season’, ‘sex’ and ‘migratory behaviour’ with ‘sampling location’ as random effect.
Model parameter | Estimate | SE | t-value | P |
(Intercept) | −126.8 | 9.84 | −12.9 | <0.001 |
Season | 0.1 | 0.04 | 3.1 | <0.003 |
Sex (Males) | 3.1 | 1.30 | 2.4 | <0.020 |
Migratory behaviour (Migrants) | −21.0 | 1.57 | −13.4 | <0.001 |
Degrees of freedom: 88; number of observations: 136; number of groups (random effect ‘sampling location’): 45. AIC = 947.5, BIC = 964.8, logLik −467.8; random intercept (mean 0, SD 6.36), and residual term (mean 0, SD 6.31) were normally distributed.
