Notes: The full model was significantly different from a null model containing only the random factor “nest ID” (χ² = 14.0, df = 6, P = 0.029). Multiple comparisons between levels of the factor “location/year” were performed using Tukeyʼs contrasts with single-step P-value adjustment. Significant P-values (P < 0.05) are shown in bold
