  1. We present the estimated value (Logit scale), standard error, z-value and their associated p value, and the lower and upper limits of the 95% confidence interval. Significant p values are highlighted in bold. M1: Results of the model that assess the probability of a terminal bud being browsed in relation to total monoterpenes and total resins concentration. α is the baseline probability, β1 is the regression coefficient that represents the effects of totals monoterpenes; β2 is the regression coefficient that represents the effects of totals resin content. M2: Results of the model that assess the probability of a terminal bud being browsed in relation to α-pinene concentration. α is the baseline probability, β1 is the regression coefficient that represents the effects of α-pinene concentration. M3: Results of the model that assess the probability of a terminal bud being browsed in relation to foliar toughness and water content. α is the baseline probability, β1 is the regression coefficient that represents the effects of foliar toughness; β2 is the regression coefficient that represents the effects of water content.
