Table 1 Mean estimates ± SE for coefficients in logit-link GLMMs where ‘presence–absence’ models the response at the site level, and ‘success-trial’ models the response as a binomial with information on the number of samples collected at each site

  1. Estimates are multi-model-averaged shrinkage estimates with variable relative importance weights ‘RIW’ and from stepwise backwards selection (estimates and p values from the final model). Vegetation = percentage of tall riparian vegetation, Depth = depth at each sampling point, Sunshine = sunny day with sun on the water surface, Temperature = water temperature, Algae = visible algal presence
