  1. Coefficients correspond to the scaled variables used in the models. − indicates that the interaction was included in the full model, but was removed in the step-wise backward selection according to AIC; n.a. indicates that the parameter was not included in the model from the start. SE = standard error, CI = confidence interval
  2. *significant at p = 0.05, **significant p = 0.01, ***significant at p = 0.001
