Number of observations: 178. Number of groups (random effect species): 5. AIC = 1444.34, BIC = 1475.69, logLik −712.17. The random intercept was normally distributed (mean 0, SD 5.62), and so was its residual term (mean 0, SD 9.38). Model residuals were normally distributed (Lilliefors D = 0.0403, P = 0.1732).
