Appendix E. Model selection tables for consumer response duration analyses.
| TABLE E1. All sixteen combinations of four explanatory variables (R = response mechanism, B = consumer body mass, G = consumer generation time, and M = resource pulse magnitude) and one grouping factor (s = system) explaining the regression between the resource pulse duration and the consumer response duration. Models within the 95% confidence set are shown in italics. |
