  1. Full parameters for model predicting introduction within reptiles traded live by the US, after iteratively removing variables with the highest VIFs until none were >5 (body mass, N = 285, H2 = 0.42 [0.05, 0.74]). Posterior mean = mean β coefficient from posterior distributions, l-95% CI and u-95% CI = lower and upper 95% credible intervals from posterior distributions respectively, % crossing zero = percentage of estimates in the posterior distribution that overlap with zero in the direction opposite to the majority of the distribution, VIF variance inflation factors.
