  1. A measure of the shape of the curves is given by the variance of the estimated asymptotes - estimates of M: ψ = variance (asymptotes - minimum fitted values for each curve). The best estimate of spread is ψ for each data set, the bootstrapped values for each pair of curves is φ*. There is no overlap between the two groups therefore the spread for food response is significantly greater than the spread for temperature response.
