Table 1. Model selection results for 2011.
Variable | Relative variable weight | Estimate from top model (lower/upper CI) | Estimate from model average (lower/upper CI) |
A. mellifera | 1.0 | 29.56 (15.84/43.28)* | 27.79 (14.21/41.38)* |
P. pruinosa | 0.64 | 2.78 (−0.11/5.67) | 2.72 (−0.08/5.51) |
B. impatiens | 0.15 | – | −4.82 (−49.17/39.52) |
Field size | 0.14 | – | 0.0003 (−0.11/0.11) |
Treatment | 0.03 | – | A. mellifera supplemented: −0.28 (−2.59/2.04) |
B. impatiens supplemented: 1.28 (−1.12/3.77) |
Relative variable importance weights and parameter estimates with 95% confidence intervals for all variables from models predicting pumpkin yield in 2011. Significant factors are denoted with * (P<0.05). Variables included: bee visitation frequency to pumpkin flowers (Apis mellifera, Peponapis pruinosa, and Bombus impatiens), field size, and supplementation treatment (B. impatiens supplemented, A. mellifera supplemented and nonsupplemented).
