^a–dDissimilar superscript letters indicate differences in the means across both the treatment time and treatment groups per behavior. All interaction terms were P ≤ 0.003. Analyses were conducted on logit-transformed proportions with a constant of 0.00001 added to accommodate values of “0” for all behaviors.
