DATA-SPECIFIC INFORMATION FOR: G)results

This folder contains eleven .txt or .csv files that contain results of the analyses, like model outputs,
model sets produced during the model selection using the multi-model inference approach, or other calculations

The following text files contain results of the analyses, like model summaries of the global model, the selected models and the model set within deltaAICc<2
the effect sizes of the vairabel, Importance values of the variables

i)model_summaries_exclusion_interaction.txt
ii)models_INS_exclusion_x_landscape_and_design.txt
iii)models_FNS_exclusion_x_landscape_and_design.txt
iv)models_QUALITY_exclusion_x_landscape_and_design.txt
v)models_QUALITY_only_landscape_and_design
vi)results_insect_damage_emmeans.txt
vii)Exclusion_on_Hemiptera_Hymenotpera.txt

The following csv. files contain the total model set of all generated models using the dredge function.
For detailed information about the method, please see the methods section of the article (Anders et al., under revision)
Each of the tables have similar variables.
