Table 3.
Fixed and random coefficients and credibility intervals of generalized linear mixed-models investigating factors affecting (i) transfer duration and (ii) net dispersal distance in 89 little owl fledglings. Coefficients with 95% credibility interval not overlapping zero are denoted significant effects.
