Note: Species include only those with ≥ 4 detections and normal distributions. Relative abundance is expressed as mean number of birds detected within 50 m per point at each site. Results of F test, as well as table-wide significance (p) are also given. The F test of significance uses the type III sums-of-squares obtained from a linear mixed model.
