Estimates and 95% confidence intervals for the coefficient of imidacloprid
| Response | Estimated coefficient | 95% confidence interval | Estimated % reduction | 95% confidence interval |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| No. live bees | −0.81 | (−1.36, −0.26) | 55% | (23%, 74%) |
| No. healthy brood cells | −1.22 | (−2.00, −0.45) | 71% | (36%, 86%) |
| Total bee mass in nest | −0.85 | (−1.58, −0.12) | 57% | (11%, 79%) |
| Final mass of nest | −0.19 | (−0.32, −0.05) | 17% | (5%, 27%) |
The coefficient would be zero in the absence of an effect; negative values indicate a negative impact of imidacloprid. Also shown are the corresponding estimates and 95% confidence intervals for the percent reduction of the response variable in the presence of imidacloprid.
