Results
Proximity to edge was shown to significantly increase nest predation rates. The generalized linear model showed when accounting for all nests, the effect of edge on nest predation was statistically significant (p = 0.007, z-value = 2.687). Regardless of proximity to edge, ground nests experienced significantly higher predation rates than arboreal nests (p < 0.001, z-value = -19.239). There was no significant interaction effect between nest height and edge (p = 0.16). When analysed separately, the effect of edge on nest predation in arboreal nests was found to be significant (p = 0.01, z-value = 2.576), but not for ground nests (p = 0.121, z-value = 1.549). It should also be noted that every ground nest was predated at least once during the course of the experiment. The overall edge effect size on ground and arboreal nests was calculated to be d = 0.245, indicating a small effect of edge proximity on nest predation.
