Notes: The coefficient estimates and standard errors from generalized linear mixed models of the proportion of surviving Artemia and fungal hyphal growth on extracts compared to negative controls. Coefficient estimates are differences in hyphal growth (mm) in plant extracts from negative controls for fungal bioassays, and the log of the odds ratio between plant extracts and negative controls for the Artemia bioassay. Stars indicate significant differences of responses of organisms in treatments compared to controls at the 0.05 significance level. Letters indicate differences among means within species. aAll shrimp died or b survived and standard errors were not estimated..
