Table 2 Results of generalized linear mixed effect models showing the relationship between plant yield parameters and pollinator variables for oilseed rape plants with pollinator access (open cage)

From: Wild pollinators enhance oilseed rape yield in small-holder farming systems in China

Response variable Error distribution Straw biomass Wild pollinator abundance Wild pollinator diversity Honey bee abundance
Seed set Gaussian 0.015 ± 0.007* 0.801 ± 0.352*
Fruit set Gamma
Seed weight Gamma
Yield/straw ratio Gamma / 0.003 ± 0.001*** 0.159 ± 0.053**
  1. Values indicate estimates and standard errors, a dash () indicates that the variable was not significant, a slash (/) indicates that the variable was not entered in the model because of dependency on the response variable, and asterisks show significance levels (*≤0.05; **≤0.01; ***<0.001)
