  1. The variable importance is given in the VIMP column and used to rank the importance and order of the variables in this table. The minimal depth is given in the Depth column in which the * indicates minimal depth values lower than the average minimal depth over all variables of the egg survival analysis (2.41) and larval survival analysis (2.31)
