  1. There is strong support for the inclusion of individual intercepts and slopes both on the first day of life, first week of life and over the entire 10-week experiment. There was no evidence that including maternal identity as a random effect improved the models (reductions in DIC of at least 5 are considered support for inclusion of the effect in the model). All models included the fixed effects of ‘hour’ (day one models) or ‘observation day’ (week one and 10-week models) and ‘body size (TL)’ (mean-centered).
  2. abest supported model (lowest DIC) is bolded.
