Table 2.
Candidate models used to investigate predictors of B. terrestris audax strawberry flower visitation in the June-bearer and everbearer crops. The chosen predictors were colony status, strawberry variety and temperature. The null model included only the intercept as a predictor, but included the same random effects structure as all other candidate models. Models are presented from the optimal model with the lowest AICc to the model with the highest AICc at the bottom. The optimal model and those within <2ΔAICc are highlighted in bold. When more than 1 model is highlighted, model-averaging was performed to obtain estimates.
