Table 1 (a) Model selection of the effects of treatments (Ad libitum-Control, Ad libitum-Imidacloprid, Restricted-Control, Restricted-Imidacloprid), Sex, Brood size, Pair order) on scaled body condition residuals (SMI \(_{residuals}\)) from day 8 to day 30. (b) Parameter estimates (slopes [\(\beta\)] with standard error [SE], degrees of freedom [df], t-value and P-value) for top ranked model. Factor level references: Treatment = Ad libitum-Control, Period = First half-period. (N observations = 2937; from 129 individuals of 35 pairs used as random factors).

From: Early life neonicotinoid exposure results in proximal benefits and ultimate carryover effects
