  1. We fit linear mixed-effect models to the molFOI data from 2012 to 2016, using participant identity as a random effect, under the assumption that each seasonal value of molFOI for a given individual are not independent observations. The first four rows refer to four separate models, with participants of different age ranges included and age as the only fixed effect. The remainder of the table describes a model that included participant age, roof type, HBB genotype, and participant sex as fixed effects.
