In agreement with previous studies in the maritime Antarctic that have found no influence of soil pH on soil bacterial alpha diversity or community composition 10 , 15 , or in which pH has been identified as an only marginally significant predictor ( P > 0.06) for the frequencies of C and N cycling genes 14 , soil pH had no influence on bacterial alpha or beta diversity in the present study.

Effects of the intervention on olfactory performance Linear mixed model (LMM) comparing the change in olfactory threshold as a result of the intervention between the two groups, controlling for age, revealed a marginally significant main effect of the intervention, F (1,318) = 3.4, p = 0.06, and a significant and robust main effect of group, F (1,318) = 199.8, p < 0.001, but no interaction of these two factors, F (1,318) = 0.02, p = 0.88, suggesting a small increase in olfactory sensitivity in both groups as a result of the intervention.

Although admittedly the interaction was only marginally significant, F (1, 16) = 4.111, p = 0.060, η 2 = 0.195 it is worth noting that the alerting tone reduced the differences between the optimal and non-optimal time of day by almost half (synchrony effect = 25 ms) in comparison to when the alerting tone was absent (synchrony effect = 44 ms).

The parents exhibited more-vigilant behaviour in the nest-box with an enlarged entrance (2.07 ± 0.41%) than in that with a control entrance (0.90 ± 0.41%), but this was marginally significant (mixed model, nest F 1,20.1 = 4.12, P = 0.06; playback F 1,21.3 = 0.28, P = 0.60; nest × playback F 1,20.9 = 2.93, P = 0.10; temperature F 1,36.0 = 2.05, P = 0.16; brood F 1,20.5 = 0.88, P = 0.36; Fig. 2b ).
approaching significancep = 0.061.2× alphagold
However, we deem this prospect unlikely due to the subtle visual differences between ‘eyes open’ and ‘eyes closed’ conditions, and the reported lack of difference between the ‘eyes open’ and ‘half looking’ conditions, as well as the ‘eyes closed’ and ‘not looking’ conditions (although the later relationship was approaching significance ( p = 0.06 ) and would likely be significant in a more powered study).
