Table 1.

Summary of the results of post-hoc pairwise tests of the comparison of differences in bird counts between experimental pairs (‘light-on’, ‘light-off’) and control pairs (‘light-off’, ‘light-off’).

Negative estimates indicate that bird numbers decreased in the presence of illumination compared to control periods. Estimates taken from the GAM (spectra experiment) show log-transformed differences in counted birds. For example, bright white caused a (0.67 – 1) * 100% = -33% decrease in counted birds when we turned on the light compared to control pair (‘light-off’, ‘light-off’). Significant results are marked in bold. ***P < 0.001; **P < 0.01; *P < 0.05.
