(f) Assuming that any departures from the assumptions underlying analysis of variance and mixed modelling are not so serious as to render these analyses invalid, interpret the results of the analysis performed in Section (e). In particular, consider the following points:
(i) Is there a linear trend in the level of predation over distance? If so, does the level increase or decrease with increasing distance from the bushland?
(ii) Does this trend vary among the species? If so, what is the nature of this variation?
(iii) Does this trend vary according to the crop residue? If so, what is the nature of this variation?
(iv) Does this trend vary according to the cage type? If so, what is the nature of this variation?
(v) Is there evidence of variation among the levels of distance that cannot be accounted for by the linear trend?
(vi) Is there evidence of three-way or four-way interactions among the treatment factors?
