RESULTS
In three years of camera trapping we obtained 91,180 non-empty images,
of which 62.9% were of people, 19.2% were of red fox, 14.3% were of
badger, 1.6% were of pine marten, 1.2% were of lynx and 0.6% were
records of wolf.
We tested the baseline model (Model 1, solid lines in Figure 2) with
three other models by adding additional pathways. We selected Model 4,
which included all the tested pathways, as the best fitting model (Table
1). Bayesian R2 values for Model 4 were 0.53
for red fox, 0.64 for badger, 0.55 for pine marten, 0.45 for lynx and
0.55 for wolf.
Below, we show coefficients whose 90% CRI did not overlap zero. We
allowed the model to estimate different values for each pathway in
summer and winter, therefore we show one model for each season (Figure
3). We also present the pd and ROPE for some of the main pathways
to ease interpretation. All posterior distributions, pd and ROPE
can be found in Appendix 1, 2 and 3.
