Appendix C. Summary of the hierarchical linear models of fish abundance as a function of image complexity variables.

TABLE C1. Summary of the hierarchical linear models of fish abundance (N) as a function of image complexity variables (H: Hue, S: Saturation, V: Value) at the reef (rf), site (st) and transect (tr) scales, on original and randomized data sets. With k: number of parameters, LL: log likelihood, wAICc: weight given by the Akaike’s information criterion corrected for small sample size and D: percent deviance explained. Model notation follows that of the lme4 package in R.
