  1. Post-hoc analysis for significant interactions in the minimal LMMs that include categorial variables. The fixed factor light indicates the effect of a change of natural light conditions to artificial light at night (ALAN), daytime the effects of daylight and nighttime, species composition the effect of dyads were animals are conspecifics compared to those were animals are heterospecifics. The significance level was adjusted for multiple testing according to Holm. Significant P values are displayed in italic
