In order to determine the indirect effects of the apple mass flowering index on strawberry fruit weight during each of the apple bloom stages, we used separate mixed effects models with fruit weight as the response variable. The predictor variables included pollination treatment, the mass flowering index, and all possible interactions between the fixed effects. Fruit order (primary or secondary) nested within the natural habitat proximity variable nested within farm was included as a random effect in each model to account for the nested sampling design. In the model describing the effects during peak bloom, weight was log transformed to meet distributional normality assumptions.
