Appendix C. Parameter estimates for rate of change in Daphnia δ13C.

TABLE C1. Summary of parameter estimates for generalized nonlinear least squares analysis for Daphnia pulex δ13C in the temporal cage experiment in the epilimnion (Epi), metalimnion (Meta), and hypolimnion (Hypo). The model was of the form δ13C = 0 * e^(1 * day), and parameter estimates are shown with confidence intervals. All P values for the parameters of each regression were <0.0001. None of the 95% confidence intervals (CI) for 1 overlap.
