Table 6 Mean (standard deviation) of Bayes factors and litter variance ratio estimates for OTU influenced by a litter effect adjusted with the normal LMM

Frequency (%)

Substantial evidence of litter influence (3.2 \(\le\) \({\mathrm{BF}}_{{\mathrm{l}}^{2}}\) < 10)

Strong evidence of litter influence (10 \(\le\) \({\mathrm{BF}}_{{\mathrm{l}}^{2}}\) < 100)

Decisive evidence of litter influence (\({\mathrm{BF}}_{{\mathrm{l}}^{2}}\) \(\ge\) 100)
