For significant terms, parameter estimates with SE are presented; for non-significant main effects, statistics follow reinsertion of the term into the minimum adequate model (MAM) and subsequent model comparison. Parameter estimates for two level factors are for the stated factor compared to the other factor; estimates for month are for the stated month when compared to April. ‘NA’ indicates that this term was not included in the model.
