Table 3. Model selection results for 2012.

Variable Relative variable weight Estimate from top model (lower/upper CI) Estimate from model average (lower/upper CI)
A. mellifera 0.17 −5.93 (−26.83/14.98)
P. pruinosa 0.12 −0.03 (−10.52/10.46)
B. impatiens 1.0 43.70 (21.34/66.06)* 45.08 (21.22/68.94)*
Field size 0.15 0.086 (−0.21/0.39)
Treatment 0.07 A. mellifera supplemented: 1.23 (−3.28/5.75)
B. impatiens supplemented: −2.78 (−7.90/2.34)

Relative variable importance weights and parameter estimates with 95% confidence intervals for all variables from models predicting pumpkin yield in 2012. Significant factors are denoted with an asterisk (*) (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).
