The effects of the Sector, Habitat, Elevation, Trail Distance, and trail density on the number of deer detections of white-tailed deer at the Gault Nature Reserve. Sampling effort was included as an offset. Edf: effective degrees of freedom, Chi. Sq: Chi square statistics. Deviance explained = 34.6%; n = 161; ***: P < 0.001, **: P < 0.01, *: P < 0.05.
