Results Decomposition score of large birds (i.e., hens) across islands and throughout seasons and days after fresh carcasses were placed in the field was a highly explainable phenomenon (79.9% of the variance accounted for by the fixed effects, plus 8.9% attributable to random effects, in a highly significant three-way random intercepts and random slopes mixed model: χ 2 = 380.6, df = 31, P < 0.001 derived from parametric bootstrap).
