Table 5 Outcomes of the generalised linear models examining the relationships between either indigenous or invasive springtail abundance, and events below 0 °C, longest duration below 0 °C, events below LDT and longest duration below LDT, for the short-term temperature data set (A) and the long-term data set (B).

From: Species-energy relationships of indigenous and invasive species may arise in different ways – a demonstration using springtails
