Table 3.

Generalized linear mixed models (GLMMs) investigating the predictors of the proportion of undescribed (a) amphibian species and (b) mammals species ranked by AICc. Predictor terms shown are HF = human footprint index and TropFor = tropical forest biome or not. Also shown are the number of parameters (k), log likelihood (LL), the difference in AICc of each model from the highest ranked model (ΔAICc), AICc weights representing the probability of each model being the best (wAICc), and the per cent deviance explained by each model (%DE).
