A generalized linear model using the negative binomial family.
| Taxon | Coefficient | Estimate | Standard error | Z value | p |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nematodes | Intercept | −8.95 | 2.59 | −3.46 | <0.001 |
| Humidity | 0.12 | 0.03 | 4.13 | <0.001 | |
| Wind speed | 0.23 | 0.10 | 2.28 | 0.023 | |
| Mites | Intercept | −0.74 | 0.49 | −1.50 | 0.133 |
| Temperature | 0.17 | 0.04 | 4.62 | <0.001 | |
| Thrips | Intercept | 18.96 | 3.74 | 5.06 | <0.001 |
| Humidity | −0.22 | 0.05 | −4.62 | <0.001 |
The response variables were the organism counts in the funnels with formaldehyde (pooled number from the roof and ground samples) and the possible predictors were temperature, humidity, wind speed, and precipitation. The presented models are those that best fit the data during the model selection process (see Table S1).
