  1. The standardized estimates were calculated by multiplying the estimate of each parameter with its standard deviation and dividing by the IPIs standard deviation. For each species the most compatible model was selected according to the model’s BIC (either with or without an interaction between intensity and speed). The importance of the parameters is ranked from 1–4 (1 being the most important). Significant p-values are marked in bold.
