Table 5. Degrees of Freedom (df), log-Likelihood (logLik), AICc, ∆AIC (AICci – AICcmin) and AICc w (AICc weight) for each linear model ordered in descending fit (best-fitting model at the top) for glucose perturbations.

The response variable for each model is either proportion of ring stage parasites (Ring.prop), parasite density (Parasite) or RBC density (RBC).
