Table 2 Results of logistic regressions performed on PCR amplification success (binary categorization of whether or not a sample successfully yielded detectable 16S/18S sequences) against prey counts (number of visible fungus gnats in pitcher), fluid color (clear or colored), viscosity (viscous vs. non-viscous), and pH level, within a generalized linear mixed model with plant as a random effect. N = 85 fluid samples.

From: Tropical pitcher plants (Nepenthes) act as ecological filters by altering properties of their fluid microenvironments
