Table 1 Statistical models used in this study

Model no^a	Type of model	Period^b	Intercept^c
1 and 7	Log-linear	NA	Fixed intercept
2 and 8	Log-linear	NA	Non-fixed intercept
3 and 9	Sine-wave	Fixed period	Fixed intercept
4 and 10	Sine-wave	Fixed period	Non-fixed intercept
5 and 11	Sine-wave	Non-fixed period	Fixed intercept
6 and 12	Sine-wave	Non-fixed period	Non-fixed intercept

NA not applicable
^aModels 1–6 were fitted by individual. Models 7–12 were fitted overall by study with a mixed effects model with a random effect for the individual
^bFixed-period models had the period fixed to 48 h
^cFixed-intercept models had the intercept fixed to the inoculum size provided in the original publications
