Model averaged results from the top (ΔAICc <4) set of LMM models describing ln body weight (BW) and ln body length (BL). Estimates where the 95% confidence intervals do not include zero (indicating significance) are marked with an asterisk. Values of t are included from the single most supported model for each. Not all variables in the top model set were in these models.
