Table 2.
Parameter estimates and standard errors from a mixed model repeated measures analysis on factors affecting surface temperatures of cane toads. Sex and body mass were used as covariates in the analysis which focused on interactive effects of climate at each capture site (# consecutive months per year with average maximum temperature > 30 °C and < 25 mm rainfall), treatment (presence or absence of water) and time (0, 20, 40 min). Individual ID nested within population was used as a random effect.
