   Notes: F values were calculated for the fixed effect of habitat, while Chi-squared values were calculated for the random effects (all other factors). P values for the random effects were determined using restricted maximum likelihood and the log likelihood ratio test (Littell et al. 1996) . Effects significant at P < 0.05 are in bold. Squared brackets indicate nesting.  Dashes indicate undefined P values where the variance component was equal to 0.
