Table 1. Reports of bandicoot sightings or scats in regards to number of dogs/ cats, ownership of both pets, reports of roaming pets, or whether pets were kept inside at night or day.
Results of the exact tests for each variable vs. each of the two measures (sightings and droppings) of bandicoot presence in backyards. Values are the exact probability (significance evaluated at α = 0.05) that each contingency table would occur if that particular combination of variables were independent.

|---|---|---|
| Sightings | Scats | |
| Number of dogs | 0.63 | 0.25 |
| Number of cats | 0.36 | 0.19 |
| Pets and roaming pets | 0.06 | 0.05 |
| Dogs inside at day | 0.21 | 0.21 |
| Dogs inside at night | 1 | 0.30 |
| Cats inside at day | 0.87 | 0.49 |
