  1. The result of the information-theoretic-based model selection is indicated. Models that explain significant main effects are indicated (*)
  2. LogLik, log-likelihood; AICc, Akaike information criterion for small samples; ΔAICc, difference between the AICc of a given model and that of the best model; AICcWt, Akaike weights (based on AIC corrected for small sample sizes)
