Stopover departure decisions in songbirds: do long-distance migrants depart earlier and more independently of weather conditions than medium-distance migrants?

Table 3 Effect of fuel load on nocturnal departure timing (proportion of night at departure) during the first night following capture in Northern Wheatears, European Robins and Common Blackbirds

Parameter	Estimate ± SE	95% CI	p
Intercept	−1.284 ± 0.124	− 1.527/− 1.040	< 0.001
Species (European Robin)	0.765 ± 0.236	0.303/1.227	0.001
Species (Common Blackbird)	0.971 ± 0.263	0.455/1.486	< 0.001
Fuel load	−0.283 ± 0.108	−0.494/− 0.072	0.009

Estimates, standard errors (SE), 95% confidence intervals (CIs) and associated p-values of all parameters included in the final model are shown. P-values < 0.05 are given in bold font. Reference category for species is Northern Wheatear
