Figure 3. Plots of the GLMMs showing the influential effects
from the two well-supported models (ΔAIC<2) on the activity of
the European red fox (Vulpes vulpes ) in the eastern Otway Ranges,
Victoria. Full model summaries are provided in Appendix S2 (separate
document).
Predictors of macropod
activity
There were six well-supported models for the eastern grey kangaroo
(Appendix S2). Kangaroo activity was higher on trails (1.09 [0.43,
1.74]; 6/6 models), positively associated with lure age (0.48 [0.34,
0.61]; 6/6 models), and negatively associated with both NDVI (-0.45
[-0.70, -0.21]; 6/6 models) and distance from farmland (-0.34
[-0.64, -0.04]; 5/6 models) (Figure 4). There was no evidence that
kangaroo activity was influenced by the prescribed fire (Appendix S2).
There were two well-supported models for the swamp wallaby, both of
which indicated that activity declined with time since fire (-0.32
[-0.47, -0.16) and was higher before the prescribed fire (0.42
[0.10, 0.74]) (Figure 4).
