Table 3 Statistical output of the four linear models that tested for the effect of nest, depth, and chamber type (based on the content found in the chamber) 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 = 53
