Table 1. Results of generalized estimating equations (GEE; autocorrelation structure between observation points) for the effects of familiarity and time nested within familiarity on the number of dispersed juvenile predators (i.e. found on the outer three leaflets), their dispersion index (number of leaves occupied), activity (moving yes/no) and number of prey eggs left per experimental unit of four leaflets.
