Comparison of model output for GLMMs with study site as a random effect and an observation-level random effect included to account for overdispersion. “Other predictors” refers to additional predictors beyond the floral resource metric included in the best model. Boldface indicates output from the best model. %ISC: percent of the landscape covered by impervious surfaces within 2 km of the study site. Significance levels: *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.
