Table 2 Planned contrasts for estimated marginal means using generalised linear mixed models with gamma distribution to assess the differences in swimming speed and time to accumulate 20% of fish in the high prey density tank (task performance) between treatments, which are combinations of the three variables: the temperature (16 and 26 °C), fish group (F1 – inexperienced fish without experienced individuals, F2 – inexperienced fish with experienced individuals) and the experiment with different distance to the patch (E1 – short distance, E2 – medium distance, E3 – long distance).

From: Elevated temperature enhances task performance by improving cognitive abilities in common rudd (Scardinius erythrophthalmus)
