- For each model, the highest order terms are presented and, where multiple terms are present, the relative importance of individual terms (and their interactions) within a model can be compared using the likelihood ratios (L-ratios). Note that separate models were run to test the effects of species richness (SR) and species composition (SC). A: amplitude of temperature change, F: frequency of temperature fluctuation. d.f.: degrees of freedom.
