Table 1.

A summary of the design of the generalized linear models used to analyse the data in open orchards.

response variable explanatory variables random variables error structure
proportion flights across rows non-Apis bees present orchard/day binomial
pollen tube at base of style? non-Apis bees present orchard binomial
no. pollen tubes initiating growth non-Apis bees present orchard, subjecta Poisson
no. pollen tubes at base of style non-Apis bees present orchard Poisson
proportion fruit set non-Apis bees present, rate of flower visitationb orchard binomial

aA subject-level random variable was used to account for over-dispersion [37].

bVisits by all bees, taken from standard observations of flower visitors in the orchards [7].
