  1. Values are obtained from models for between-study Analyses (Analysis Group 1) for all datasets including: Full Dataset, Single Species Inocula, and Lab Studies Only). Q statistics are approximately χ 2 distributed with degrees of freedom (df). Dashed lines indicated explanatory variables which were not included in that analysis group. Bold values represent p values < 0.05 and italicized values represent p values > 0.05 and < 0.1QE: test statistic for the test of residual heterogeniety
  2. QM: test statistic for the omnibus test of coefficients
