Appendix F. Table with the bootstrapped standardized and unstandardized path coefficients for the SEM models.

Table F1. Bootstrapped standardized and unstandardized path coefficients illustrating the direct (A, B) and indirect (C, D) effects of predictor variables (column headings) on response variables (row headings). NE = natural enemy; SBA = soybean aphids; Yield = soybean yield. Numbers in parentheses represent the lower and upper bounds of the 95% confidence intervals, respectively.
