  1. Full parameters for model predicting introduction status within amphibians traded live by the US, including all predictors as none had VIFs>5 (N = 75, H2 = 0.30 [0.00, 0.76]). 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.
