Boruta package in R (Kursa and Rudnicki 2010) Random Forest-based variable reduction algorithm ranking importance of the 12 independent variables measured in this study on The Nature Conservancy’s Nassawango Creek Preserve, Delmarva Peninsula, Maryland, USA, in 2017. Shadow variables are in blue, variables confirmed as unimportant in red, tentative in yellow, and confirmed important in green. Temp max = maximum temperature; min = minimum; max = maximum. Box plot features are as follows: circles are outliers, dashed-line “whiskers” are 1.5 times the interquartile range, rectangle is the first and third quartiles, and horizontal bar is the median
