Table 2 Statistical output of the four linear models that tested for the effect of nest, depth, and soil type (chamber soil, control near, and control far) on each of four alpha diversity measures (Shannon, Faith’s phylogenetic distance (PD), Pielou’s evenness, and observed ASV’s). Number of samples in each statistical model N = 155. Effects that are statistically significant (p-value < 0.05) are in bold and results of the post-hoc analysis are shown in Figs. 6 and 7
