A priori models used to evaluate the effects of treatment (imitating Barred Owl calls) on responsiveness of male Spotted Owls to conspecific calls. All models are generalized linear mixed models (GLMMs) in which territory (TERR) was considered a random effect and all other variables were fixed effects. T, EXP, SUBSP, P, and C indicate Treatment, Experience, Subspecies, Period, and Carryover, respectively. Each model included an intercept. K indicates the number of model parameters. Experience models were used only for comparison of all four study areas for the quasi experiment. All other models were used in analysis of both the true and quasi experiments.
