  1. * Significant effects
  2. aThe dependent variables were Zugunruhe (migratory restlessness) and diurnal activity
  3. bStatistics of the models with Zugunruhe as dependent variable: Garden Warbler adj. R 2 = 0.192, F5,56 = 3.901, p of the model = 0.004; Robin adj. R 2 = 0.167, F5,79 = 4.375, p of the model = 0.001
  4. cCONDITION: a body condition index obtained by conducting a principal component analysis (PCA) on body mass, fat score, and muscle score at capture for each species
  5. dStatistics of the models with diurnal activity as dependent variable: Garden Warbler adj. R 2 = 0.284, F5,56 = 5.844, p of the model = 0.000; Robin adj. R 2 = 0.101, F5,79 = 2.894, p of the model = 0.019
