Statistics of estimated sample exponents in the interspecific generalized TL on carabid beetles abundances

$j,k$	$k/j$	$b_{jk}$	$2.5\text{\%}$ percentile	$97.5\text{\%}$ percentile
1, 2	2	2.005	1.984	2.025
1, 3	3	3.005	2.961	3.042
1, 4	4	3.994	3.936	4.057

The column $k/j$ gives the asymptotic model prediction for the exponent $b_{jk}$. The point estimate $b_{jk}$ is computed as the average $b_{jk}$ across years and site type, not by pooling all of the data from different years and site types to calculate means and variances. The confidence intervals are obtained via bootstrapping with ${10}^6$ bootstrap samples from the set of $b_{jk}$.
