Table 2.

Relative rating task: (A) Values of the GLMMs computed across and within silver fox strains. We assessed acoustic predictors of humans’ ability to identify vocalizations expressing higher levels of arousal across and within silver fox strains. Bold type indicate P ≤0.05; degrees of freedom = 1 for all fixed factors. (B) Outcome of model selection procedure based on AICc. Degrees of freedom = 6 for all models. Bold type indicates models with the strongest support based on log likelihood (logLik), akaike weights and the difference between the AICc values of two models (ΔAICc ≤2.0)
