3.3 Interaction effects between independent variables
According to Table 3, none of the two-way (p = 0.982), three-way (p = 0.989), four-way (p = 0.749), and five-way (p = 1.000) interaction effects were significant, therefore, the details of partial associations of these interaction effects are not mentioned in table 4. As shown in tables 3 and 4, month, cover and trap diameter had significant independent effects on their evenness (p < 0.001). In contrast, the type variable (funnel vs. cup) had no significant effect on their evenness (p = 0.611).
