| TABLE F3. All ten valid combinations of four explanatory continuous variables (D = resource pulse duration, Ds = standardized pulse duration, G = ln[consumer generation time], and B = ln[consumer body mass]) and one grouping factor (s = system) in models predicting response lag. Models within the 95% confidence set are shown in italics. |
